As much as I hate agreeing with Steenholdt.. and let me assure you i hate having to do it it... i have to agree with him on this, because of the way the language packages for openoffice are packaged you can't avoid updating the langpacks at all. I think you have a poor understanding of how package dependancies work. So let me take a moment to step through what is going on here. In the case of the openoffice language packages the dependancy is versioned so that language packages are tied to a specific version of openoffice. You can not selectively choose which language packages to update without breaking dependancies. Yum is not going to be re-designed to let you break dependancies to avoid updating language packages...forget you ever had the thought. Example.. on fc4 right now: repoquery --requires openoffice.org-langpack-he_IL openoffice.org-core = 1:2.0.1-143.2.1 <------ VERSIONED DEPENDANCY same thing on rawhide too: repoquery --repoid=development --requires openoffice.org-langpack-he_IL openoffice.org-core = 1:2.0.1.1-1.2 Back on that fc4 system, if I have the package openoffice.org-langpack-he_IL installed and I want to update openoffice.org-core to version 2.0.1-143.2.1 the dependancy situation demands that I also update the language package. Yum isn't going to allow you to delibrately break explicit dependancy chains... no way... no how. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
