At this point i get:
c64:~# apt-get install -t experimental boost-build
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
boost-build is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded.
c64:~# apt-get build-dep -t experimental openoffice.org
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Build-dependencies for openoffice.org could not be satisfied.
Any ideas?
