Yes, I have a few unstable packages.

Not for me... unfortunately. Moving aside apt preferences, commenting
out the unstable archive in apt sources, doing apt-get update, and
trying again... it still breaks.
If I attempt to install openoffice.org with aptitude without -base:

But wait... choosing the modules, /without/ openoffice.org, works! It
installs.
But it won't work:
~$ oowriter &
Wait! After about 6 minutes... watching top, seeing kaffe-bin take 76%
cpu, I see an OOo logo... and this:
~$ javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!
Now I have a working OOo, of course using 30.0% memory per top (of 256mb
total).
Thanks. I can work with this. :) Any ideas on how to eliminate the
wait time that OOo takes looking for the non-existing JRE?
