God damnit. This bug already was reported *3* times before you
filed it.
(#356984, #357024, #357067).
You don't need to file it again. Please check whether a bug is reported
already before filing it. Thanks.
My system did not have this binary installed. Not knowing the intricacies
of Debian-ified Java and Openoffice.org, I couldn't have guessed what the
exact problem was. Looking at the contents of the directory it was
looking in, I was able to find (dpkg -L) the package 'java-gcj-compat'.
Searching for related packages, I found another package called
'java-gcj-compat-dev'. On a guess, I "aptitude install
java-gcj-compat-dev", the above missing binary was symlinked to, and
'openoffice.org-gcj' configured itself sucessfully. The install of
'java-gcj-compat-dev' triggered a set of other packages to install:
antlr ecj-bootstrap ecj-bootstrap-gcj gjdoc
Any of these could have created the symlink.
None did. java-gcj-compat-dev contains it.
I think the dependency for "openoffice.org-gcj" needs to be updated to
ensure whatever package created this symlink. Alternatively, perhaps a
package that you do depend on *did not* create the symlink as it was
supposed to. Either way, it was a problem for me.
2.0.2-2 will use the gij symlink, which *is* i java.gcj-compat-dev.
And iff you would actually have read the bug reports already filed you
would have found that out because I exactly wrote that
(java-gcj-compat-dev / gij) in #356984...
