Hmmmmmm. I'm not sure what's wrong with this pointer but
this is what I got when I tried to install Open Office just
now.

Package openoffice has no available version, but exists in
the database. This typically means that the package was
mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been
obsoleted or is not available with the contents of
sources.list
E: Package openoffice has no installation candidate

So, what did I do wrong? Could the fact that, other than
this source, I am running testing have anything to do with
the problem?
Is there another source point that I can draw on?
TIA,
