No, the _'s are right. The above refers to a update_desktop_database()
shell function which itself calls update-desktop-database -q.
The problem here is that that function isn't implemented in 1.1.3-x and
shouldn't be. This was a broken forward-merge of changes from
1.1.2dfsg1-3.
The openffoffice.org postinst should be removed and the
update_desktop_database call removed from the postrm.
P.S: Please actually tag bugs only in experimental appropriately. And:
Because this bug prevents package installation it is grave.

René
