The freetype dependency has been downgraded so the backport works
properly with the semi-official openoffice.org. This was discussed in
previous posts. To fix:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*freetype*
dpkg -r --force-depends libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev freetype2-demos
apt-get -f install
Now you can 'apt-get upgrade', etc and you can install openoffice.org
