You don't "run" an rpm. How are you trying to install it?
It may be easier to install it using yum if you have a RHN subscription or a similar repository. Something like yum install openoffice would do the trick.

yum-complete-transaction
yum-complete-transaction(8) yum-complete-transaction(8)
NAME
yum-complete-transaction - attempt to complete failed or aborted Yum transactions
SYNOPSIS
yum-complete-transaction [options]
GENERAL OPTIONS
-h, --help
Help; display a help message and then quit.
--cleanup-only
Only clean up only transaction journal files and exit.
DESCRIPTION
yum-complete-transaction is a program which finds incomplete or aborted yum transactions on a system and attempts to complete them. It
looks at the transaction-all* and transaction-done* files which can normally be found in /var/lib/yum if a yum transaction aborted in the
middle of execution.
If it finds more than one unfinished transaction it will attempt to complete the most recent one first. You can run it more than once to
clean up all unfinished transactions.
FILES
As yum-complete-transaction uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values
like which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/
SEE ALSO
yum.conf (5)
http://yum.baseurl.org/
AUTHORS
See the Authors file included with this program.
BUGS
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org. To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com
for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
