       I had read the release notes but I realise that my yum.repos.d
       for  this particular machine already contained xxx.repo  *and*
       xxx.repo.rpmsave  *and*  xxx.repo.rpmnew and I think  yum  was
       lost with that as other machines were OK!

       Well,  I  installed java-1.6.0-openjdk but I cannot do a  
       'yum  remove  jdk'  as it wants to remove  all  openoffice.org
       packages !

       I re-installed all that by hand and it seems OK now.

       Thanks again for your help.
