Package: openoffice.org-kde Severity: wishlist Hi there, I can't seem to find any discussion about this on the web as yet, so I'm starting it: The openoffice.org-kab package is unavailable on Debian/Squeeze. At least under KDE4.3, it should be working just the way it did under KDE3 since the KDE address book format has not yet changed. Moreover, there's an openoffice.org-kab package in lenny-backports, so it shouldn't be a problem on the side of openoffice.org 3, either (unless I'm missing something here). Unless Squeeze definitively aims for KDE4.4 (where an akonadi connector would be in place), I'd be happy to see Kaddressbook connectivity back on stage for Squeeze. Presently, there is no Kaddressbook support in the address data source wizard, even if openoffice.org-kde is installed. In vanilla Lenny, the package openoffice.org-kab is also missing, but Kaddressbook support in the address data source wizard shows up and the support is working (has this been repackaged somewhere else?). Being unable to directly access my KDE addressbook from within openoffice.org for me is a major reason not to upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze presently. (Though, as a workaround, from the KDE address book I can export to LDIF format, read this into evolution and use openoffice.org-evolution for accessing the addresses - but see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578685 for more trouble.)
