Please not. The BTS is not a support forum, it is for actual bugs.

Well, if I interpret apt-cache showpkg right he doesn't seem to have -writer
installed, so *of course* he cannot open word docs.

Perhaps it *is *user error, but I took no explicit action to remove any
modules, and the Open Office
did work previously. It was my understanding that apt-get upgrade never
removes packages, so
I thought perhaps there was a disconnect in the package structure of
openoffice for Sid.
Is there a metapackage that will reinstall all basic functionality of
the openoffice suite (writer,
spreadsheet, presentation) or must I now research the missing components
and manually install?
I was under the (mis)understanding that running apt-get install install
openoffice.org would do
this, but it does not (for me).
It appears that running "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-writer"
will install this missing module,
plus several others (output attached) and I will do this momentarily.
But I don't understand why
the modules went AWOL in the first place.
Maybe it's just one of the joys an unsophisticated Debian user should
expect when running the
unstable distribution. I rarely have problems like this.
Thanks for the responses!
