YUM and LibreOffice
by LQParsons from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5188P)
YUM UPDATE, which I run weekly, has been having some trouble with missing dependencies etc. and won't update LibreOffice.
I'm CentOS/7 64-bit; when I load via Application | Office, my version is 6.0.something. However
Code:$ sofficegives me 5.
It seems I've done a local install for updates over the past.
I decided to start clean, so I did a
Code:# yum remove libreoffice*
# yum install libreofficeAnd it's version 5.
So, before I do a download from libreoffice.org, then Code:# yum localinstall (mumble).rpm(1) why is yum installing Version 5.
(2) if I do the localinstall, can I have yum take care of the updates after that, or must I do a localinstall whenever I get update notices?
(I tend to want to do this when my windows machines tells me the updates available, so I update there from within libreoffice.)
