I'm using this package since it's released, and had only very few

others it has no problem.
Saving documents failed never here - neither on .odt nor .doc-files.
Mostly I use OOo-writer - and that package seems to work very well.
Well, I did experience problems on a sarge box, related to java (on which
openoffice heavily relies). The problem persisted with the java runtime
environments from sun, ibm, blackdown, and apparently was simply due to java
triggering a bug in the libfreetype packaged in sarge. I compiled the sid
libfreetype6 package from source on sarge, installed it and the problem
disappeared completely, with no ill effects apparently. Since this appeared
to be a difficult to track problem, I failed to report it, but here it is. I
could reproduce it consistently by running through the wizard to produce a
fax template.
