Bug#566189: openoffice.org: Openoffice crashes on startup

[Ferry Toth <ftoth@telfort.nl>]

Moving the folder /var/spool/openoffice/uno_packages/cache/registry/com.sun.star.comp.deployment.component.PackageRegistryBackend/ out of the way let's Openoffice start without crashing.

Going to the extension manager shows some extensions with unknown status:
mailmerge.py
postgresql-sdbc-0.7.6.zip
Sun Report builder.

My other installed packages report no problem:
LanguageTool
Nederlands thesaurus
Nederlandstalige spellingcontrole...
svgimport

Actually I use postgresql a lot.
Reinstalled the broken extensions with synaptics, no complaints. postgresql-sdbc works fine again.

Seems I am up and running again, thanks. Hope not to many users will face this problem.

Happy hunting,

Ferry

Good, please send them :-)

Any .rdb there if existing/possible.
