Unfortunately the software that I'm using (Alfresco) requires the installation of openoffice, and not libreoffice. If I try and configure it to use libreoffice I receive errors during startup. If I try to install any of the openoffice packages:
yum install openoffice*
I receive errors for all packages similar to:
Package openoffice.org-langpack-bg_BG is obsoleted by libreoffice-langpack-bg, trying to install 1:libreoffice-langpack-bg-3.4.5.2-16.el6.x86_64 instead
Then it proceeds to try and download libreoffice. I don't see anything in man yum with regards to installing obsolete packages. Is there any way to install obsolete packages via yum and not their newer counterparts?

If you prefer, you can download the proper package (deb, rpm..) from the official website: http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html
After you can install with rpm or with yum.
