Bug#468202: openoffice.org-writer2latex: postinst barfs, no workarounds

[Julien BLACHE <jblache@debian.org>]

Package: openoffice.org-writer2latex
Version: 0.5-5
Followup-For: Bug #468202

Hi,

Here the postinst barfs, the purge barfs too, I have no lockfile around
(contrary to what unopkg claims during the purge), purging and reinstalling
does not work.

strace on the postinst script reveals that unopkg does most (if not all)
of its job but still fails (I can see it opening various XML and other OOo
files).

The upgrade worked on other machines of mine.

I'd happily remove writer2latex which I do not need, if only it wasn't a
Depends. Please demote it to a Recommends.

JB.
