Ah, I'd wouldn't really recommend doing this.

Firstly, the whole point of running FC4testx is to test how the packages
in FC4 will work together.  It doesn't make a lot of sense to solved
dependancy issues in FC4 by downloading packages from other
distributions.

Also, the problem here is that gcc changes that occurred last night just
after openoffice.org was built made the build of openoffice.org
incompatible with the builds of gcc.  The fix for this should occur
shortly, and in the meantime testers will just have to avoid upgrading
to the newer version of gcc, or uninstall openoffice.org.

For FC4, openoffice.org is being built using an open source
implementation of Java (part of gcc) rather than having to rely on the
Java runtimes environment from Sun (or elsewhere).  This is in response
to concerns that openoffice.org needs Java installed and that this can't
being included as part of Fedora Core.
