I am also trying to upgrade to OO 3.2.0.7. I have added the above repo to Yast, but do not see all the 3.2.0.7 RPMs listed @ above link. When I search for "openoffice" all I get in Yast "installed (Available)" column with 3.2.0.7 updates are the following: Openoffice_org-icon-theme-crystal Openoffice_org-icon-theme-galaxy Openoffice_org-icon-theme-hicontrast All the other packages do not list any 3.2.0.7 "Available" updates.

I was having this problems, then I decided to put OO repo to priority 97 while the standard is 99 for everyone elese. Did I understood it backwards? ;) Because it still didn't work. Then I just manually forced Yast to install the 3.2.* versions. But this is indeed stangre: I mean, even if they are all at the same priorities, like it was here, shouldn't the newest version be choosen for installation then?

Check the priority of your repos. I needed to give my OO repo a higher priority to have the newer versions install.

Yes, bigger numbers equal higher priority; 100 would have been a better choice.

Are you sure? man zypper states: -p, --priority <positive-integer> Set priority of the repository. Priority of 1 is the highest, the higher the number the lower the priority. Default priority is 99. Packages from repositories with higher priority will be preferred even in case there is a higher installable version available in the repository with a lower priority. The issue seen by the initial poster might be caused by zypper not changing vendors while "up" compared to "dup" which causes vendors to change. While using dup it might be usefull to limit the scope to a particular repository. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

Lars found precisely the help message I used to make my choice. Is there a mistake on that?

Maybe zypper dup would have done the job. I forgot about testing that. But, shouldn't yast make a "dup" if available? ;)

Sorry for the top posting. My bad. I usually interleave, then when I make a straigh reply I forget that.

You can actually force to do that. When I upgraded mine from 3.1.1.4 to 3.2.0.7 I selected the OOo repository only, right clicked on the software list and selected "All in this list -> upgrade if newer version available". Yast then presented it's usual prompt about problems requiring a resolution; I checked each one and simply selected "Uninstall/reinstall <package> with vendor change". Once I had manually resolved the vendor change issues (equivalent do doing a manual "dup" as I understand it), Yast happily upgraded as requested. Yes, zypper "dup" may have been slightly faster but I didn't think of that either. It just goes to show though, there's more than one way to skin a cat (or upgrade packges on Linux). -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The lower the number the higher the priority. And even with the same priority you still need to switch repos. To have packages replaced by another repo you have to use zypper dup or in YaST Package Manager select the repo and click near the top of the package list where you can instruct YPM to install all packages that are newer. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I finally got OOo 3.2.0.7 installed by the following steps: (a) removed all OOo 3.1 packages through Yast (b) bumped up the 3.2.0.7 repo to priority 1 (c) downgraded the "standard" OSS repo to 2 (d) refreshed all repos (e) searched for openoffice and voila the 3.2.0.7 packages were present. (f) selected the required packages and let Yast resolve all dependencies (g) OOo build 3.2.0.7 is now installed on my desktop system :) Thanks. -- Arun Khan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
