I found that using aptitude to upgrade recently, openoffice.org was
broken but one solution proposed by aptitude was to uninstall
"openoffice.org" while keeping all the other bits installed! My list
of installed openoffice.org related packages is:

The package openoffice.org itself is not installed! Openoffice.org
works perfectly (well, it works as intended ;-) on my system although
I must admit that I don't stress test it in any way as it's only a
final recourse type of tool for when antiword doesn't give me what I
need...
Hope this helps,
eric
