Bug#239193: openoffice.org: [powerpc] Setup fails to complete

[Mark Brown <broonie@sirena.org.uk>]

Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.0+1.1.1rc3-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Attempting to start openofficece causes my system to complian about its
RC files.  Deleting these and restarting as per README.Debian causes the
following output:

| $ rm ~/.sversionrc ; rm -r ~/.openoffice ; openoffice
| rm: remove write-protected regular file `/home/broonie/.openoffice/1.1.1/THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.html'? y
| OpenOffice.org for Debian - see /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz
| running openoffice.org setup...
| Setup did not complete properly - cannot find an entry in ~/.sversionrc

.sversionrc contains:

| [Versions]
| OpenOffice.org 1.1.0=file:///home/broonie/.openoffice/1.1.1

Adding a new line saying:

| OpenOffice.org 1.1.1=file:///home/broonie/.openoffice/1.1.1

allows startup to complete and the program to apparently run succesfully
though the following output is produced on the console:

| $ openoffice
 
|  Starting configuration import into user data ..
|  .. importing layer file:///tmp/oooLocale.XXXXTyaM61configimport.bin -
|  Unhandled exception caught in main: "no service object raising singleton
 /singletons/com.sun.star.configuration.backend.theDefaultBackend" 

and a dialog warning that StarOffice was unable to open the central
configuration and will proceed with local configuration only is
produced.

I suspect the problem is caused by the mismatch between the versions of
the various packages or by a partial transition to 1.1.1 in the RC
versions.  As far as I can tell the versions I have are the most current
on PowerPC at the minute.
