Your set above is useful. You have Calc, Base, Draw and Impress. Not Writer. You've choosen that (or you didn't get -writer installed as we had the c2a-transition and -writer needed to get rebuilt against libwpd8c2a). That's the whole point of it. You can install each module without needing the other ones if you don't want/need them. (except for Impress, which needs Draw, but that still leaves Writer, Base, Calc etc. optional). If there's some module not working because it e.g. needs a lib from another lib (and I mean not working, not not having some feature) then it is a bug... "openoffice.org" is a metapackage depending on every module for people who either want to install every module or simply don't care and want just OOo. Regards, Rene
