I've been bashing my head on the wall for 2 or 3 hours for something that
should be (and has been, in the past) simple.
Trying to install the latest LibreOffice downloaded from Libreoffice.org.
I had 6.0.1.1 and downloaded 6.4.0.2, and kept getting dependency errors:
--> Running transaction check
---> Package libobasis6.0-base.x86_64 0:6.0.4.2-2 will be installed
---> Package libobasis6.0-calc.x86_64 0:6.0.4.2-2 will be installed

--> Processing Dependency: libreoffice6.0-ure >= 6.0.4.2 for package: libobasis6.0-core-6.0.4.2-2.x86_64
while trying to work around that I "yum remove"d all existing libreoffice
rpms, but that didn't fix it.
the file libreoffice6.0-ure-6.0.4.2-2.x86_64.rpm exists in the same
directory as all the other files I'm trying to install, and as far as
its filename goes, it is the version that yum is demanding.
I tried installing the version I had previously been using, and I get
the equivalent error when trying that too. Back when I installed it, I
got no such errors.
Note that I am now on the 7.5 version, 7.5 (1804), and when I previously
installed 6.0 I was still on the previous release, so I wonder if yum has
become broken during the 7.5 run-up.
A lot of time had transpired here and I was getting a little warm under
the collar, so I tried:
rpm -ivh *.rpm
which worked just fine. voila! I did this with the older version, but I
wanted the newer one, so I did "yum remove libreoffice\* libobasis\*"
and it complained about the RPM database being modified, but it did the
deed.
then I tried installing 6.4.0.2 again, with yum, which still gives the
same error.
Once again, rpm is my friend.
Anybody got any ideas what's wrong with my system? (or is yum broken??)
thanks in advance!
