I guess that you mean by that running yum from a directory where the rmps are
just those of the package to be installed/updated. So, I have copied the rpms
of openoffice already downloaded to a temporary directory, and executing this
command, as shown below, did not work either (see below). First it found the
dependency on openoffice.org-math, which has not been downloaded yet, but
stoped there.

Then, I have downloaded it manually plus two other files (pyuno and testools),
run again and found that yum wanted to download everything again, reporting
wrong sizes as before.

Isn't it dangerous bypassing the dependency check? I get:

=============

Do you mean removing installed packages? But, isn't yum the application
that should handle all this stuff?, as stated in the Fedora Core
documentation.

So, is yum capable of installing/updating these large packages from local
rpms? If not, I ask you urgently to solve this problem.
