Package: openoffice.org
Version: 2.0.2-3
Severity: important

Hi,

All the openoffice programs crash on startup, with the following
message:

helen:~> ooffice
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice: line 233: 17308 Segmentation fault
"$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@"
helen:~>

I tried running it through gdb, but only got the following, which I don't
understand (me being stupid, maybe - gdb and I don't in general get along).  I'm
not sure what else I can do to help work out what this bug is, and I realise
that it is quite possibly not reproducible, since nobody else has reported it yet.

If there is anything else I can do to help, please let me know.

Thanks,

I finally fixed this problem by purging all openoffice.org packages, running 
($apt-get clean), and then installing OO again.  I don't know what caused it 
or why it's fixed now, but it is.  Anyone having similar problems should try 
this.
