We can't get it all running in one go - the .debs are up there to save people having to do the upstream install themselves, but the .deb does not yet fix many of the problems caused by upstream. Once this hits unstable, it _will_ work better. Until then, I suggest you use upstream's install program or send some constructive comments to the debian-openoffice mailing list - I have no idea what problems you had since you did not list them here. There are several known problems and workarounds listed in README and TODO in the doc directory - you may like to have a look there. Chris -- Chris Halls | Frankfurt, Germany
