Problem installing openoffice 4.1.10

I downloaded from the genuine releaselocation:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.1.10/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.10_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz/download

During install of the rpms (Fedora 34 x86_64),
I get this strange message:

sudo dnf -y install *.rpm
.
.
.

Error:
  Problem: problem with installed package fedora-release-common-34-1.noarch
   - package generic-release-common-34-0.1.noarch conflicts with 
fedora-release-common provided by fedora-release-common-34-1.noarch
   - package generic-release-common-34-0.1.noarch conflicts with 
fedora-release-common provided by fedora-release-common-34-36.noarch
   - package openoffice4.1.10-redhat-menus-4.1.10-9807.noarch requires 
redhat-release, but none of the providers can be installed
   - conflicting requests
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting 
packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

Ditto with trying to instal 4.1.9, yielding identical error message:

Error:
  Problem: problem with installed package fedora-release-common-34-1.noarch
   - package generic-release-common-34-0.1.noarch conflicts with 
fedora-release-common provided by fedora-release-common-34-1.noarch
   - package generic-release-common-34-0.1.noarch conflicts with 
fedora-release-common provided by fedora-release-common-34-36.noarch
   - package openoffice4.1.9-redhat-menus-4.1.9-9805.noarch requires 
redhat-release, but none of the providers can be installed
   - conflicting requests
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting 
packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

So, I wonder if the developers can help me (and other Redhat linux 
users) with this problem.

You should use something like:

sudo dnf install ./*.rpm ./desktop-integration/*freedesktop*.rpm

The "redhat-menus" package is not suitable for Fedora.

Only one of the packages in desktop-integration/ must be installed, and 
for Fedora the "freedesktop" one is the right choice.

   Andrea.
