If I run apt-get -f The problem is that you are woody (at least I suppose so) and you are using the woody backport. This isn't a problem in itself, it is good :) But the problem is that you seems to have another version of libfreetype6 installed than openoffice.org-bin wants. Because of incompatibilities, the openoffice.org backport for woody wants woody's package. You have two possibilities to get a working, full and right installed OOo on woody: a) Downgrade libfreetype6 to woody's version with apt-get install libfreetype6=2.0.9-1. This may remove some stuff from your installtion, check if you want that... b) Exchange "woody" though "testing" in _and only in_ the line in /etc/apt/sources.list pointing to the mirror you are using for OpenOffice.org.
