Sie können versuchen mit --skip-broken das Problem zu umgehen.
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Any ideas?

Well, if you don't speak german and want your system to use english, you can use the system-config-language command and set it appropriately.

[bambuse]

Hehe, no you don't understand I do speak german. But I want you to be able to read my log. Thats the reason why I want to post my log in english...

[Irithori]

You can set

export LANG="C"

to temporarily switch to englisch.

For the actual error:
It seems, yum is unable to read the defined repositories.
What is the content of /etc/yum.repos.d/*
and does this machine have internet connectivity?

Also is this a redhat/centos or fedora box?

[bambuse]

Hi there,

the computer (fedora box) has internet connectivity and the content of /etc/yum.repos.d/* is:

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1163 May  4 21:31 fedora-updates-testing.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1105 May  4 21:31 fedora-updates.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1144 May  4 21:31 fedora.repo

Here are the error messages in english after typing "sudo yum update":

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
error: rpmdb: damaged header #313 retrieved -- skipping.

[mizzle]

So, it looks like it's trying to replace openoffice.org on your box with libreoffice.

You can either try to use the --skip-broken flag and run yum again, or hack out all the installed open office packages, and install libre office manually.
This might be because you have the testing repo enabled. Did you enable the testing repo to install certain software that's only available in testing, or are you trying to update everything to the testing version?

[bambuse]

Neither...nor. I never changed anything in the yum settings because I'm too new to linux. So it must be the standard configurations.
I tryed to uninstall the oo-ure package but it wants to uninstall all dependent packages too. Is the any way to ignore these dependencies?
Also I tryed to uninstall the whole oo, then install the libre..-ure and reinstall oo after that. But that doesnt work.
