upgrade openoffice not working

I was asking Organization Apache Open Office that can I be official maintainer Apache Open Office for Archlinux and get answer from Pedro (pedro.lino at mailbox.org) that can I maintainer, he answer me don't see any problem.
I'm Linux experience user, a bit of a programmer, administrator, security administrator in company for last 20 years. But start my road with linux was about 1995r.
Program Open Office/Apache Open Office I was using/repair a simple bug/sending ticket to bugzilla from about 15 years.
In my company Libre Office had too many bugs, too often broken own files xls and he was too much
unstable. Too many time we must spend for repair LO. We must change it for something much stable like Apache Open Office.
I think so that can help us example fix it this problem if we wont my help.

Becking to problem.
When I was fixit build file get next error:

yaour -S openoffice

interesting...
I was execute yaourt like user not as root.

I was wrote email for forum at archlinux.org and dev at archlinux.org but get message that is it wrong places for this problem.
Maybe this time send email to correct places.
