I've been around on this as well. It's a nasty glitch, but the only people it
affects are those few who have multiple builds of OOo installed, so it doesn't
seem like that high a priority.

As far as I can tell, the problem comes from the fact that upgrading a package
implies both installing the new updated package and removing the old package.
The removal operation for both yum and rpm removes all packages that match the
base name of the package being updated. If any other installed packages happen
to have the same base name, then they are removed along with the package that
was updated.

The Fedora-packaged OOo and the OO.org-packaged OOo have some package names in
common. When the Fedora packages are removed as part of a Fedora update, the
OO.org packages whose names match the Fedora packages are removed as well.

It does seem unfortunate that there is not more interest in coordinating the
package names to avoid such conflicts, but changing package names is perhaps not
as easy as it sounds.

I work around the problem by updating the Fedora packages manually: first
removing the installed Fedora packages (specifically, using the full name &
version), then installing the update.
