Re: OpenOffice on a mixed system

Thanks!

I commented out the sid repos, updated, and then upgraded without a 
problem. At the moment my OpenOffice install from Sid is the same 
version as is currently in Etch. The previous warnings consisted of a 
long list of dependency problems, as identified by aptitude, which was 
suggesting a combination of holds, downgrades, and removals. I'm hoping 
that now I've removed sid I'll have a painfree upgrade into the newer 
versions of all the OO programs as they trickle into Etch. My fingers 
are crossed, and I'll be more cautious before I mix my system again.

Cheers,

Tyler
