Bug#278317: #278317: openoffice.org: Unknown value for prelink variable

[A Costa <agcosta@gis.net>]

Package: openoffice.org-bin
Version: 1.1.3-7
Followup-For: Bug #278317


I just had a buggy install which might be 'prelink' related:

  % feta install openoffice.org-bin

  done.
  If you update the libraries used by OpenOffice.org (listed in
  /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org-bin/used_libs) in the future,
  you need to prelink again.
  Run /usr/sbin/oooprelink then.

I don't understand what the stuff about 'prelink' means.

HTH...
