Bug#527910: [paket openoffice.org-base] Application does not start

[Chris Hildebrandt <ch@strucom.com>]

Hi,
the issue is independend from upgrading or fresh install. No, it does
not work after killing the processes.
Yes, the problem does affect openoffice.org-base only, all other modules
did and do work fine.
By the way, the sun-java6 bug mentioned before is not related.
I use amd64, do you think it could be architecture related?

Tried, and yes, it is not related.

I will collect more reports from other users to see if more usable info
comes up. An application just dying at startup without any error message
is really strange.
Anything else you think could help to get more useful info?

Greetings,
Chris
