Also have a look at Petr Maldek's blog post(s) for this topic, latest one here: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/02/26/openoffice_org-3_2_0_7-bugfix/

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.
Any idea why Yast is not picking up the relevant 3.2.0.7 "Available" updates inspite of adding the above repo and refreshing the repo?

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