I've had two failures trying to upgrade open office per the latest security alert.
First, up2date reported a validation error for package openoffice-1.0.2-11.i386.rpm, so I manually downloaded the file and tried to continue. It failed valiadation again. I was left with rpm -q openoffice reporting that open office was not installed, but I can actually still run the application. Weird!
Has any else had a problem with the file? Or was I just unlucky enough to get two consecutive bad downloads?
The third time was the charm. I downloaded manually and installed using rpm. No problems this time
