There is no problem to install both 4.0.5 and 4.1.x LibreOffice versions (generic Linux versions from TDF) side by side. Both have the same executable name, so I conclude that the problem is on the OpenOffice side. Please file a bug report on the AOO bugtracker against AOO. Best regards.

I can install LibreOffice generic version from TDF and OpenOffice from Apache side to side, they don't use the same executable. The problem is in openSUSE.

LibreOffice and OpenOffice could be installed side to side. Unfortunaly, this is not possible (or at least, not OOTB) LibreOffice uses the same executable of OpenOffice. I have LibreOffice installed first, and then I tried to install OpenOffice. But when I tried to install the OpenOffice's menus, the package manager gives an error because of the conflict. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install LibreOffice. 2. Install OpenOffice base packages. 3. Try to install OpenOffice executable files (menus). The following error will appear: rpm -Uvih openoffice4.0-freedesktop-menus-4.0-9702.noarch.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%] file /usr/bin/soffice from install of openoffice4.0-freedesktop-menus-4.0-9702.noarch conflicts with file from package libreoffice-4.1.1.2-1.1.x86_64
