openoffice.org-bin is dead. Will be removed once the frpmasters do
that...

No. Because -bin is completely obsolete. What was in -bin before is now
in -core, -calc, -base, -writer, -draw, -impress, -math.

If you did a upgrade from the 1.1.x openoffice.org it automatically
installs you -writer which wontains Writer.

Anyway, this is no bug in the OOo packages in sid (remember: -bin is completely
obsolete)...

(Yes, I need to reassign the other bugs filed against -bin. Or close
them since many of them look fixed now)

Regards,

Rene
