Bug#168813: openoffice.org should depend on lpr or not require it
Hi,
Well, installing lpr caused the error messages to go away, and openoffice
starts properly. Unfortunately now I can't reproduce the crash, even
after purging lpr and deleting ~/.openoffice ~/.sversionrc and
~/.user60.rdb. I will follow up if it happens again.
Thanks,
