Bug#289461: openoffice.org-bin: hangs on startup trying to access port 631 of my (unavailable) print server

[Ricardo Ferreira <debian_bugs@pasquinade.cjb.net>]

Package: openoffice.org-bin
Version: 1.1.2dfsg1-3
Severity: important


As stated in the subject line, openoffice hangs when opening a file,
trying to contact my cups print server. Here is the last "strace" line
before the hang:

connect(26, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(631),
sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.1.2")}, 16 <unfinished ...>

Since this is a laptop, my regular print server is not continuously
available.

I searched the bug reports and found bug number #256826 to be exactly
what I experience, except the author claims it has been closed in
1.1.2dfsg1-3. This is not the case, at least in my system. This is a
pure testing distro with nothing from unstable/experimental.

Thanks for everything. Debian is great :-)
