openoffice updated to 3.0.1 cant run

I had the same issues as the others… I loaded yast and looked at the
openoffice packages… I noticed I had a mix of 3.0.0.9 and 3.0.1.2
packages… I removed them all and re-installed only the 3.0.1.2 ones…
The bundle is sweeeeeeet now … and quite a bit faster!.. I must have
had a broken install for some time and didnt know it…

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Especially Russ, for his excellent
list!

This was driving me crazy!!! I thought I boned my lappy during the
KDE 4.2 upgrade, a couple of days ago…

I basically got rid of the bogus dependencies (no reason to hash it
over again) and did a OpenOffice reinstall/update of the remaining
dependencies.

I checked the results, through every step of the process, to see if
OpenOffice was magically working, but didn’t have complete success until
I reinstalled the dependencies - all 336 MB of them… :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, all is well that ends well!

OpenOffice is now working fine on KDE 4.2 openSUSE 11.1 x86_x64.

Now I need to go fix my (x.86 GNome) desktop machine, which I also
notice (OpenOffice) isn’t working…

Yes, after doing the default install using the openoffice repo I did a
search in YaST Software Management for openoffice, then deleted all the
3.0.0.9 packages, works a treat. Ta!

Removing the ~/.oo3 folder from my /home did the trick for me.

Thanks,

Deleting all the 3.0.0.9 packages & reinstalling from the OO repo
worked.

This seems to be a mismanagement of repositories issue rather than
simply package dependency issues. OpenSuSE should not have placed such
different and unique OpenOffice packages in the main repositories.
