For example, our dandy yum update program in CentOS 5 told me there were conflicts with OpenOffice and with java-1.4.2-gcj-compat. I recall, early on in my adventures with Linux and Fedora Core, and later with CentOS, suffering from brain-freeze when I would get error messages, and have to force myself to actually READ the message, and try to understand just what it was telling me. Nearly always, the message told me where the problem was, and sometimes what I should do to resolve it. Now comes the human frailty part of the equation. I need to BELIEVE what my machine just told me.e.g. During this most recent hefty update, PUP told me it had problems with openoffice conflicts, and it told me it had problems with java-1.4.2-gcj-compat. So, I unchecked the boxes for the two that were complaining, and let the update proceed. It finished the rest of the update, and returned to tell me that there were updates ready for openoffice and java-1.4.2-gcj-compat. The problems with openoffice were easy enough to understand. I had installed OpenOffice-2.4 a few months back. Since I don't recall having had any issues with the CentOS 5.1 specific version of openoffice, and since I hadn't seen anything in the brand-new OpenOffice-2.4 that I just HAD to have, I used Pirut to uninstall the conflicting OpenOffice-2.4, and ran PUP again, this time unchecking the box for java-1.4.2-gcj-compat. Again, the update proceeded without complaints.Now, for the last problem, java-1.4.2-gcj-compat. It wasn't quite as easy to find. Looking in Pirut for java* stuff, I couldn't see any obvious conflicts. I remembered reading a tip provided by Alan on this forum in a different, related thread, to try # yum clean all, and then # yum upgrade. Nice try, but that didn't fix it. So, I DO BELIEVE what my machine is telling me

I'd prefer to keep the package managed by a package manager (yum). Any experience with getting this to work? The RHN packages only include Tomcat5.
