I'm a little confused here.
I was not able to download the package from there.
I found, searching openoffice these 2 lines
deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool openoffice.org
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool openoffice.org
I added to sources.list and tried dpkg and apt-get but they say that
there is no package named openoffice.org-impress_2.0.3-6
Mybe I'm doing something wrong
There is any kind of information on how to use snapshot.debian.net?
