Looks like the scenario when /var/lib/openoffice/basisX.Y/program/services.rdb
got corrupted. Try
apt-get install --reinstall openoffice.org-core
And reinstall also the packages touching that file
(-evolution, -kab, -filter-binfilter) when you have them installed after
that.
In some rare cases services.rdb can get corrupted, no we've yet not found
out why. Did you do a upgrade of OOo while OOo was running?
Obviously that's a bad idea....
I am closing this bug because it's probably that corrupted file. That the
file can get corrupted is an other story but that's also handled in an
other bug (#546723; beginning from message #27).
