Is the backport for OOo broken?
Is there a problem with openoffice.org-base?
I just did:
apt-get -u -t sarge-backports install openoffice.org
and got the following results:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openoffice.org: Depends: openoffice.org-base (> 2.0.1) but 2.0.0-4 is
to be installed
E: Broken packages
I ran:
apt-get -u install openoffice.org-base
and got the following output:
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openoffice.org-base: Depends: java-gcj-compat but it is not installable or
j2re1.4 but it is not installable or
java2-runtime but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
So I obviously need one of the three packages mentioned above.
Unfortunately, none of these packages seem to exist, either in Sarge, or
on backports.org, thereby making OOo uninstallable.
BTW: I have both j2re1.4.2_01 and jdk1.5.0_06 installed from the Sun
packages

No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.
What?! Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here.
Boom. Sooner or later ... boom!
