Yes, sorry about that.

(misspelled here too, must be /usr/share/myspell/dicts)

I know, this is where I took the commands from, which is the most
strangest thing here. It seems, that in some environment, this check
fails:
(/var/lib/dpkg/info/openoffice.org-debian-files.postinst)

if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && dpkg -l openoffice.org | grep ii
>/dev/null; then

The problem seens to be, that at the moment of configuration of
openoffice.org-debian-files, openoffice.org could be still in some other
state like half-configured or half-installed. Why is the dpkg/grep check
needed? Maybe it should be replaced with something more reliable?
