If you look at base and extras repositories, you'll see there's no openmotif anymore. Probably got replaced by lesstif? And lesstif is in extras, it is not base package. It's probably a bug in how lesstif was packaged (it should have caused openmotif to be removed, I guess, if it is replacement for it, which I haven't checked).
