Re: Conflict between gnome 2.2 backport and openoffice.org backport

["Paul Frederiks" <fred@phoenixstam.org>]

I just found a solution. Look for the openoffice.org backport from Adrian
Bunk. ( http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/packages )
I had no problems installing it. It pulls some additional packages in
contracst to the more official backport but I haven't encountered any new
problems. Don't forget to comment out the vpn-junkies line from
sources.list. I must say I enjoy these backports. imho gnome 2.2 is more
of a improvement to 1.4 than kde 3.1 is to kde 2.2. When
evilgeniuses.org.uk is back online give it a try.
