Package: openoffice.org
Severity: wishlist

The website says,
$ w3m -dump http://openoffice.debian.net/|grep Just
  in Debian           Just 'apt-get install openoffice.org'.

Only later on one's camping trip will one discover none of the Help
menus work.

So the website should say more.

I'm sure Microsoft users wouldn't end up without documentation.

Maybe there should be a openoffice.org-no-documentation package for
those who hate documentation.

If English is the most up to date documentation, then by all means, use
it as the default.

And apt-get shows suggested packages. Which shows openoffice.org-help as
Suggests:, which is not actually provided, though but gives some basic idea.
Yes, that's a bug, yes, that will be fixed with 2.0.2-3

Maybe, yes. README.Debian.gz FWIW already does say that help is
packaged seperately and which help is there and how it is named. Even
when the list there may be outdated there's still apt-cache show.

Irrelevant for this. M$ also installs all stuff people might not want
per default. You can also install your help. Just do it. apt-get does
tell you, and so does README.Debian.

No. a) people are there wo don't want/need the help and b) you don't
want to depend on the help.

Just install it(tm).

And WTF are you filing a website "bug" (which isn't one) against the
"openoffice.org" package? And why are you filing a new bug anyway
instead of replying to our other help-related one (and maybe reopen
it[1])

-> Closing.

Regards,

Rene
