Bug#509404: openoffice.org-common: dpkg can't configure because of dico_checkroot

[Tim Connors <reportbug@rather.puzzling.org>]

Package: openoffice.org-common
Version: 1:2.4.1-14
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I can't configure openoffice.org-common, either with the version in
testing (1:2.4.1-14), or with unstable (1:2.4.1-15, and the dependencies):
