"{build-,}depends on one of" means that the dependency is uninstallable;
if it's not available, edos-debcheck says "{build-,}depends on missing
$pkg" instead.

Digging a little deeper in to the packages files gives:

libgoffice-0.8-dev (= 0.8.17-1.1+b1): FAILED
  libgoffice-0.8-dev (= 0.8.17-1.1+b1) depends on one of:
  - libgoffice-0.8-8 (= 0.8.17-1.1+b1)
libgoffice-0.8-8 (= 0.8.17-1.1+b1): FAILED
  libgoffice-0.8-8 (= 0.8.17-1.1+b1) depends on missing:
  - libgoffice-0.8-8-common (>= 0.8.17-1.1+b1)

That looks like a bug in the packaging, given that -common is arch:all
and therefore still at 0.8.17-1.1.
