Hi Adam,

This happened to me yesterday, after an upgrade. Fortunately I noticed a
cryptic message in the process.

Get into /etc/openoffice. Your old autoresponse.conf _needs_ to be replaced
by the autoresponse.conf.dpkg-dist  .  The cryptic message hinted that open
office wouldn't run if you insisted on kweeping your old config.

HTH,
