Yes, this works. How did I do it ? It is a little bit tricky, but look at this link: http://www.badopi.org/node/669 Well, I looked at the entry of the sources.list. From this place I downloaded the entire openoffice-packages and copied them manually to /etc/apt/archives. Then I first installed the most important packages: dpkg --force-all -i openoffice.org-debian-files=1.1.2-2-1.0.1 openoffice.org-amd64 openoffice.org-l10n-en openoffice openoffice.org-ia32-libs After that I could install the other packages, like truetype-fonts, mimelnk etc. Well, I have to admit, that I was playing around a lot until it worked. But now openoffice is running. Good luck ! Best regards Hans
