Yesterday, I did an upgrade on my Debian testing system. For some reason, when some KDE packages are upgraded Open Office breaks. In the past I've just re-installed my OO deb files and all is well with the world again.
But not this time! I use alien to convert the rpms provided by OO to debs. Then use dpkg to install the debs. I've tried removing older versions of OO. I have even downloaded OOo again, checked the md5sum and re-installed it. The closest I can get to a working program is at /usr/bin/ooffice which will not open any files (not even native OO files) I'm sure it's not an OO problem as it was working perfectly before. I noticed that alien was upgraded, and I'm wondering if that's the problem. I ran alien in verbose mode, but no errors were reported. The only error I found was this: coolbox:/opt/OOA680_m1_native_packed-1_en-US.8990/RPMS/desktop-integration# dpkg -i ./*.deb dpkg: regarding .../openoffice.org-debian-menus_2.0.1-1_all.deb containing openoffice.org-debian-menus: openoffice.org-core conflicts with openoffice.org-unbundled openoffice.org-debian-menus provides openoffice.org-unbundled and is to be installed. dpkg: error processing ./openoffice.org-debian-menus_2.0.1-1_all.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing openoffice.org-debian-menus Errors were encountered while processing: ./openoffice.org-debian-menus_2.0.1-1_all.deb I'm sure this should only affect the desktop integration, and not the program itself. Does anyone have any ideas? -- God bless you, Keith Bates 4 Mooloobar St Narrabri NSW 2390 Phone: 02 67924890 Fax: 02 67925418 www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
