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.

Many thanks for that. I haven't followed it up but I will RSN I am
basically using testing on this machine. A certain amount of if it ain't
broke has applied so far.
