yum update openoffice

[Craig Preston]

If you are doing the updates manually, using the asterix should be fine
as it will ask you to go ahead before doing anything. Most (large)
software has multiple files, hence the need for the asterix. Using the
asterix in a very general way such as yum update o* is probably a bit to
general and will find all sorts of software, unless you want to update
everything beginning with o :)

The asterisk did the trick.  Is there a generality I should infer from
this, or are there hidden risks?
Thanks,
Mike.
