------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jul 5 08:04:04 +0000 2007 ------- a report from a skilled user installing the official .deb When using the apt-get package tool, the OOo 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 .deb packages cause no problem. But with the release of Debian Etch the aptitude tool is the preferred tool. And when using aptitude, the OOo packages are being automatically removed from the system. "Currently aptitude is the preferred tool for system maintenance." http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch-system.en.html#s-depends So, if one installs the .deb packages like that : $ dpkg -i *.deb the next time aptitude is run, one will get : $ aptitude upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done Writing extended state information... Done Reading task descriptions... Done Building tag database... Done The following packages are unused and will be REMOVED: openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-draw openoffice.org-impress openoffice.org-math openoffice.org-writer 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 44.6MB will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] This is because aptitude knows exactly what dependencies exist and it knows that the packages openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-draw openoffice.org-impress openoffice.org-math openoffice.org-writer were not asked to be installed. So aptitude will remove them. In opposite the openoffice.org-xsltfilter package will not be removed because it has been explicitely installed by the "dpkg -i *.deb" command. My recommendation to fix this behavior with aptitude is either : a) To create .deb files for the openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-draw openoffice.org-impress openoffice.org-math openoffice.org-writer packages. This might imply to big a change for the global release process. b) To create an openoffice.deb package with dependencies to the openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-draw openoffice.org-impress openoffice.org-math openoffice.org-writer packages. This technique is a bit more tricky and might not be feasible but it only impact the Debian release process. If possible it seems to me that you should change the Provides: of openoffice.org-core01 to : Provides: openoffice.org-unbundled, openoffice.org-base, openoffice.org-calc, openoffice.org-draw, openoffice.org-impress, openoffice.org-math, openoffice.org-writer --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
