The lenny->squeeze upgrade path might hit this, and the bug might be
present in squeeze (if it's a bug, and not just a warning message).  Or,
as you say, it might be specific to my setup.

lenny.  That is, I have a stable/lenny system and did an aptitude "U"
upgrade (i.e., security fixes).

Assuming this is the relevant section
add_extension() {
  echo -n "Adding extension $1..."
  INSTDIR=`mktemp -d`
  /usr/lib/openoffice/program/unopkg add --shared $1 \
    "-env:UserInstallation=file:///$INSTDIR" \
    '-env:UNO_JAVA_JFW_INSTALL_DATA=$ORIGIN/../share/config/javasettingsunopkginstall.xml' \
    "-env:JFW_PLUGIN_DO_NOT_CHECK_ACCESSIBILITY=1"
  if [ -n $INSTDIR ]; then rm -rf $INSTDIR; fi
  echo " done."
}
, I don't know what $ORIGIN is.

Not that I was aware of.  My mail client probably had used it to view
some MS Word attachments earlier. If that leaves something hanging
around, it's possible OO was still running.

How do I check?  I'm pretty sure I have some packages pulled in from the
testing or unstable, but I don't recall which.  Unstable packages I
probably built from source. apt-cacher and samba have had  some of that.

Thanks.
