when I installed Sunday evening from ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/
I noticed last = -3 for other arch and -2 for i386 .. STRANGE
now it is clear: upload was just in progress when I installed
thanks for the hint
now installed -3 .. does NOT matter current issue, as you suspected

in previous versions the font name was mentioned in helpsystem,
NOT in this version
should I file a bugreport against openoffice.org-help-de ??
who knows the font name?
intensive "googling" .. NO success

thanks for your reading carefully
investigation shows:
replacing "sarge" string by "oldstable" is a "feature" of reportbug-ng
btw.: don't worry, I KNOW every line in my /etc/apt/sources.lst,

reportbug-ng missed dependencies, I noticed and could not solve yesterday,
needed INTENSIVE investigation, finally discovered simple file privilege
problem which resulted from an update of several packages,
"chmod 755 /usr/bin/dpkg" solved and now I can append:
