Package conflict trying to update Open Office
I recently upgraded from FC2 to FC3. I first did a backup. My first upgrade attempt led to a non-booting system. I restored from backup (without reformatting first--so new files from FC3 were still there). A web search of my symptoms led me to the problem: I had forgotten to change xorg.conf to use the nv video driver rather than the nvidia one (necessary because the nvidia driver requires a reinstallation with each new kernel). So I made the change and tried again. This time it booted fine.
The next step was to update the installed packages. Most of the 200+ updated fine, but three did not:
openoffice.org
openoffice.org-i18n
openoffice.org-libs
These were to be updated from 1.1.2-11.4.fc2 to 1.1.2-11.5.fc3 (i386 architecture) using the updates-released-fc3 channel. This was a bit odd since my architecture is x86_64 (I used FC3-x86_64-disc?.iso for my update; my FC2 install was also for x86_64)). But I suppose that there is no x86_64 package for Open Office. At any rate, I got the following error message:
-------------------------
Test install failed because of package conflicts: The following packages were added to your selection to satisfy dependencies:
Name Version Release
--------------------------------------
audiofile 0.2.6 1
audiofile 0.2.6 1
esound 0.2.35 2
esound 0.2.35 2
evolution-data-server 1.0.2 3
gnutls 1.0.20 3
libgcrypt 1.2.0 3
libgnome 2.8.0 2
libgpg-error 1.0 1
libsoup 2.2.1 1
alsa-lib 1.0.6 5
package audiofile-0.2.6-1 is already installed
package esound-0.2.35-2 is already installed
-------------------------
If I understand this correctly, the Open Office update requires that I install release 1, version 0.2.6 of the audiofile package which I can't do because I already have release 1, version 0.2.6 of the audiofile package installed (and similarly for esound). Is this really what this message is telling me??? How do I solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.
