openoffice.org-gcj update broke?
I went ahead with update-notifier's suggestion today to upgrade Open
Office. It all went well, until it got to openoffice.org-gcj. The old
version apparently has post-removal scripts that return an error code,
breaking the whole process.
Anyone else run into this today? If so, have a solution? Below is a
partial run through of the stuff I've tried.
Thanks,
Roy
