Hmm, it could be a libfreetype conflict. Steve, check that you do not have
libfreetype6 from testing(Sarge) or unstable installed - this is problematic
and we deliberately do not let openoffice install with that version. In
early 1.0.1 versions we did not use the Debian freetype so the tight
dependency did not exist.
If you installed the Gnome 2 Woody backport you will need to manually
downgrade - the dependency has only been removed recently.
