Just guessing but it sounds like 'you' have to go get the Star Office
file from the German site and put it into /tmp for the 'install
package' to install it.

Ckeck out the Slink Packages file:

Package: staroffice3
Version: 3.1-9

Description: Star Office 3.1 installer
Star Office 3.1 is a suite of office productivity applications
containing the following
- StarWriter 3.1 (word processor)
- StarCalc 3.1 (spreadsheet)
- StarDraw 3.1 (graphics and presentation package)
- StarImage 3.1 (image manipulation)
- StarChart 3.1 (bar, pie and other charts)
- StarMath 3.1 (formula design)
.
StarOffice 3.1 makes heavy use of common code in shared libraries,
therefore using relatively few resources for the level of
functionality.
.
The StarOffice 3.1 binaries can be found in
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/staroffice/
They need to be placed in /tmp or $TMP respectively.

You have the installer, not the Star Office program.

It sounds clean to me.
