My apologies for having missed that - blame a couple of days with little sleep. Here's a better attempt at analysis of the problem: When running up2date, the latest openoffice packages (1.1.2-10.fc2) refuse to install due to a version conflict with package redhat-artwork. The conflicting packages are both 0.96-1, which proably means that it's a conflict between the already installed x86_64 rpm, and the i386 version on which the new openoffice packages depend. Thanks for the feedback, Bob Deblier
