If you have it available you have a mix... Not to mention OOo doesn't directly depend on gij-4.0 but does so on java-gcj-compat, which neither is in sarge. > Apt sources included: > deb http://www.backports.org/pending/openoffice.org/ ./ > > Did I miss something? Yes. -base depends on a JDK. In sid this is fullfillable by java-gcj-compat (i.e. gij-4.0) but not in sarge. In sarge the only option is j2sdk1.4 - or some other package providing java2-runtime. Ignore gij-4.0 for the sarge backport. We are currently thinking about making the Java dependency from -base a Recommends to prevent problems like that. Note that you happily can install the other modules without -base (the Database module) if you want. Regards, Rene
