  erikd@coltrane > dpkg -l |grep openoffice    
  ii  openoffice.org 1.1.1-2        high-quality office productivity suite
  ii  openoffice.org 1.1.1-2        OpenOffice.org office suite binary files
  ii  openoffice.org 1.1.0+1.1.1rc3 Debian specific parts of OpenOffice.org
  ii  openoffice.org 1.1.1-2        English (US) language package for openoffice
