Aha! I should have realized this, but you removed the openoffice packages without purging them. That explains why they're there. Of course, aptitude shouldn't install versions that can't be downloaded -- and indeed, pressing "+" on the package doesn't do anything. But if you list the versions of the package and explicitly select the configured version, aptitude will happily mark it for installation. This seems likely to cause problems later on. Daniel
