Bug#182452: openoffice.org: can't import plain text

thanks

Hi, thanks for reporting; this bug is already reported and the previous
submitter was able to get OOo working like this:

--------------------
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=173481

I've now figured out how to fix it, but not why it was happening.

Previously I had my locale set to "C" and no locales generated, by
reconfiguring locales (dpkg-reconfigure locales) and generating en_us
and selecting that as my default locale, the problem goes away.

Now I can no longer reproduce the bug, even if I switch the locale back
from en_us to C and uncheck en_us to be generated by locale. But I'm
certain that this caused the bug to disappear.
--------------------

Does the problem go away for you too if you follow this procedure?

Chris
