I've installed Openoffice 4.0, downloading the file and installing by terminal. But now the program say me that exist an upgrade of the version, the 4.1. I think that i must delete the old version to install the new, but i don't know what i can do to delete Openoffice 4.0, i have to use the terminal or i can simply put the folder of Openoffice in the trash and install the new version. If i have to uninstall the old version by terminal, what is the procedure?

Thank you.

Assuming you downloaded and installed the RPM packages, there's no need to delete anything - installing the newer version will replace the older version. I've just done the upgrade by downloading Apache_OpenOffice_4.0.1_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-GB.tar.gz then

Code: Select all

tar xf Apache_OpenOffice_4.0.1_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-GB.tar.gz
su
urpmi en-GB/RPMS/*.rpm en-GB/RPMS/desktop-integration/*mandriva*.rpm
exit


Just replace en-GB with your preferred language (and x86-64 with x86 if you have a 32-bit system).

With your command i had problem, i don't know why, but i have followed your advice and i have installed this version normally.
