Everything in /etc/yum.repos.d/ must end with a .repo (i.e.
freshrpms.repo) not yum.conf. Rename the file to freshrpms.repo or
whatever you want (as long as it ends with .repo)

You should also remove or disable whatever repos in /etc/yum.repos.d/
that you don't want. You can disable a repo be adding/changing
'enabled' (i.e. enabled=0) will disable a repo.

You might also try deleting the yum cache dir:

rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*

Your best bet would be to just remove openoffice.org and reinstalled it
with yum.

rpm -qa | grep openoffice.org
rpm -e --nodeps 'list of packages that the above cmd returns'
