Reading the thread on "Plan for OpenOffice 2.0.3" drew my attention to
the fact that my machine has openoffice-1.0.2-11. When I try to update
with "check-update openoffice*" I get:

Err, what version of Fedora do you have? The package that came with FC2 is 1.1.1-4. Yet you have yum, and judging from its output, something relatively

recent.

FC5 but this is an upgrade from RH9

updates [2/3]
extras [3/3]
Reading repository metadata in from local files
but when it is done, rpm -q openoffice returns "openoffice-1.0.2-11"
What am I doing wrong?

Oh, also, here's a thing: since OpenOffice is officially and clumsily named OpenOffice.org (yes, the office suite name contains the actual TLD, making

me always think "shouldn't the web site then be openoffice.org.org?"), so
the package is "openoffice.org", not just "openoffice"....

Thanks for the syntax clarification. Tried it, and got the following?
# yum update openoffice.org
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
