Description Raphael Groner 2012-07-11 17:43:55 CEST
Description of problem:
Update of libreoffice fails cause of a broken dependency in libreoffice-core to libreoffice-opensymbol-fonts. It seems only to be cause of a version mismatch. libreoffice-opensymbol-fonts is noarch, so it wouldn't harm.

Snippet from libreoffice.spec:
205	%package core
{â¦}
208	Requires: %{name}-%{fontname}-fonts = %{version}-%{release}

Two questions:
1) Why is there a Requires and not just a Suggests? Maybe think about changing it to a Suggests.
2) Why is there an explicit dependency to the same version? I installed libreoffice with --allow-nodeps successfully. Afterwards, I installed libreoffice-opensymbol-fonts version 3.6.0. All works great! Maybe think about removing the version number in the Requires: line.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.5.5.1-1

How reproducible:
yes

Steps to Reproduce:

To answer question #2, b/c it's provided by LO itself (it's a subpackage)
This works as of LO-4.0
