Hi all.
Can you help me with something?
YUM is 3.2.22, RPM is 4.4.2.3-9.
I bundled RPM's for OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 for i386 RHEL/CentOS 5.x
(http://rpms.plnet.rs), but I have problems with removal of older
version of OpenOffice (2.3.0).
I have first put together and recompiled, renamed, ... all needed rpm's.
Then I created 4 (for now) virtual rpm packages:
ooo3-base that depends on all core packages.
ooo3-en-US that depends on ooo3-base and all en-US language packages,
ooo3-SH that depends on ooo3-base and all SH language packages,
ooo3-SR that depends on ooo3-base and all SR language packages.
so installing one of the ooo3-<language> files will install all needed
packages.
On CentOS with removed OpenOffice.org 2.3.0 it installs and runs
without problems (few months now). But default CentOS 5.x comes with
OpenOffice.org 2.x installed.
Is there a way to REMOVE old version before installation of the new
one using ooo3-base spec/rpm file? I tried Obsoletes but it looks like
it integrates them, not removes them. I would like to avoid leaving
any of the older files on the system just because I was lazy to find
the right way.
So best way would be to issue a command that will be equivalent of the
"yum remove openoffice..."
Thanks,

Obsolete should be the way to go, but you have to Obsolete all the base
openoffice.org-* packages to get them replaced with the new one. You
also has to add some Conflict: openoffice.org-base to avoid that the
user can install the old openoffice.org packages at a later time.
