This pertains only for those running Debian Sarge 3.1
and OpenOffice.org 2.0 from the OOo website. Anyone
running Unstable/Testing already have a newer version
of libfreetype and OpenOffice.org 2.0 in the
repository.
Those running Stable only have OpenOffice.org 1.1.4
which does not include Base and many other
improvements such as the Open Document format support.
That is why I downloaded it from the website and
installed the RPMS via alien rather than using backports.
