thanks
Thanks for taking the time to provide a backtrace. I can see that this is
caused by a font file problem, for which there is a workaround described in
README.Debian:
2. You may have a font that causes setup to crash. Run this command to find out
which was the last font that setup tried to read:
cd /usr/lib/openoffice/program; (LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. strace setup.bin 2>&1) | grep open | grep .ttf | tail
You will see something like:
open("/path/to/<font file name>.ttf", O_RDONLY) = 12
Try moving that file away temporarily to see if it is the cause of the crash.
If you do not get such a message, see the next item.
If you are able to send me the file that is problematic I will try and debug
the crash itself to see if OOo can be made to fail gracefully instead.
Thanks,
Chris
