I'll never understand why people don't actually check their system
first before reporting a bug.
(Because wven when you don't know why this could happen as I do - when
googling for that error there's forum posts outlining possible problems)
In this case I'd check whether the user-dir of OOo is readable and
writable by you (There are some bugs which can cause it to be created
by root...)
This e.g. happens when a extension is registered but the
javasettingsunopkginstall.xml file is not pointed to something else.
Then it will write a new home if not existing with that file - on package
install then obviously as root. (The Debian packages of extensions
*do* specify that option)

That would be grave actually, but I can't reproduce it anyway.:
(Because the "%/§/ reporting doesn't show the locale I assume it_IT.UTF-8
but it also works with e.g. en_US". ...

... with and without langpack installed.
