OpenOffice 1.1 spelling checker broken?

I just upgraded openoffice to the Sarg version.

ii  openoffice.org            1.1.2-4                   high-quality office productivity suite
ii  openoffice.org-bin        1.1.2-4                   OpenOffice.org office suite binary files
ii  openoffice.org-debian-fil 1.1.2-4+1                 Debian specific parts of OpenOffice.org
ii  openoffice.org-l10n-en    1.1.2-4                   English (US) language package for OpenOffice.org

Now the spelling checker is completely broken---every word is flagged as
misspelt. This output appeared on my console:

Hash Manager Error : 1
Error - could not open affix description file
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo/en_US.aff
Failure loading aff file /usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo/en_US.aff

The missing file is not in any Debian package:

$dpkg -S /usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo/
dpkg: /usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo/ not found.

On a hunch, I tried linking /usr/lib/ispell/american.aff to the filename that OO
expected above. It did not work, though.

Can anyone help me? It the package just broken or do I have a configuration
problem?
