As you saw it is not OO or glibc bug. Don't think if
we like and use Debian all developers like OO team use
it and test their products on it . How to expect them
to know that libgpcl0 package is needed for setup to
complete and to address the relevant remarks on their
BTS, docs, etc.
If one dont like any open source app (docs , support,
etc), then he/she need to switch towards any closed
source decision. In that case StarOffice (but I guess
that its setup will break again if you miss this
package and Sun dont even know about that)
