This problem, I think is because you are trying to install the old
version (the one in stable) which uses old versions of the libraries.
What happens when you issue just `apt-get install openoffice.org`

Exact same error messages?  It should work in a pure stable
environment..have you issued a `apt-get update` recently?  If the
problem persists, try installing each package listed as 'uninstallable'
until you get to the one(s) which are actually holding it up.
