As had been mentioned several times before (check the archives at 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice), you should downgrade 
libstlport4.5gcc3.0 to 4.5.3-3+woody (or whatever version you have available) 
instead of using the unfortunately versioned 4.5.3-5cjh2.

You can find out what versions are available to you by running:

  apt-cache show libstlport4.5gcc3.0 | grep Version

and install it with

  apt-get install libstlport4.5gcc3.0=4.5.3-3+woody

(substituting whatever version is available to you.

Also, you might consider upgrading to the latest openoffice.org package  
(1.0.1-5+woody.2 at the time of writing), which conflicts withe the 
troublesome libstlport package.
