Do you have this package install? Which JRE do you try to use?
(look in the mentioned Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Java)

That doesn not make sense, sorry. a) it is clear whichJVMs OOo supports, it is written
in OOos dependencies b) it's also clear from OOos dependencies which packages you
need in addition.
What you could try is to check whether your OOo Java settings are broken, just delete
javasettings_*_.xml fom your user config and set it again in the Options.

It was longer than a week. 2.5 or so? Of course testing now got other updates...

And there's someting fishy that you put two unrelated things in one bugreport.
See also below and try with OOo3 if possible and if you're sure it's a bug in OOo file *another*
bugreport.

Why are you mixing testing and etch? Bogus combination.
BTW: You are using a completely unsupported version, given how much packages
already droppped in from unstable to testing and that unstable is
adapted to OOo3 already, the OOo 2.4.1 in testing is not really supported by me
anymore, it won't get any fixes anymore (maybe only emergency stuff and security
if OOo3 isn't in testing by then, but nothing else)
