Unable to update Openoffice.org-core in todays update

[Robbie Foust]

Hi,

I just joined the list a few days ago.  Somewhat new to Linux, but not 
new to computers, so please excuse my ignorance. :-)

I had a similar problem but I got the error on openoffice.org-core, not 
on -langpack (I didn't have langpack installed).  It didn't leave -core 
in an uninstalled state, but rather it still showed 1.9.89-1 installed.  
I yum removed openoffice (all of it, due to dependencies) and 
reinstalled it and everything works great now.  Not sure if this is 
helpful, but figured I'd pass along the info.
