As there is no openoffice for amd64 yet, the package that actually contains the binaries (openoffice.org-bin) does not exist on amd64. The only reason you see openoffice packages at all is that some are arch independent. > As workaround, I installed the openoffice-packages via download, and then > using dpkg --force-install -i openoffice.org<package>.

I'd always thought oo needed a i386-chroot for now. C.
