...and I don't want to do that, right?
I put in lines like mentioned below in /etc/yum.conf to stop installing 32-bit
packages, and finally got KDE to install, but now I'm running into the exact
same issues trying to install OpenOffice.org.
What's recommended practice for getting this to install on a (primarily)
64-bit athlon/64 system? It's pretty much required since this will be a
workstation...
When I try to install OpenOffice, I get complaints (again) about openssl,
fontconfig, and now libIDL:

in /etc/yum.conf, I've tried the following:
exclude=*fontconfig.x86_64 openssl.x86_64 libIDL.x86_64
which gives these errors

as well as
exclude=*fontconfig.i386 openssl.i686 libIDL.i386
which then gives these:

Any idea where to go from here? I'm tempted at this point to punt on X86_64
for workstation use and just use 32 bit. It does not seem not all that
usable when basic package installation fails like this.
(Does %upstream-provider% actually consider this "release quality"?)
