Already in bugzilla as a bug agaist redhat-artwork, i don't know the
number off the top of my head sorry. But there should be a new
redhat-artwork update for fc2 to fix the problem at some point.
Quick summary: using 32bit on 64bit requires some extra steps in
packaging to avoid conflicts, and redhat-artwork 32bit wasn't
originally needed on 64bit until this new openoffice update, which
introduced a new dependancy on libbluecurve from redhat-artwork.
