Hi Christian,
[...]

What makes the soffice execuable so specific that the Debian ooffice
executable does not work? Please help us answering this question to
solve this Bug in Debian.


Nothing I guess...
It seems that debian just did not calls it soffice and is simply not found.
Not being able to find the installation without that startup-link is
nothing special either - since vanilla OOo is not spread across the
filesystem, but everything resides in one single prefix.

Debian calls the soffice exec in the last line:
-----%<-----
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /usr/bin/ooffice | grep soffice
exec "$SystemInstallDir/program/soffice", @ooo_argv
-----%<-----

file /usr/bin/soffice
/usr/bin/soffice: symbolic link to /etc/openoffice.org-2.0/program/soffice

And /etc/openoffice.org-2.0 is in turn a symlink to /opt/openoffice.org2.0

file /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice
/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice: Bourne shell script text
executable

And there you have it. A simple shell-cribt that sets up some
environment variable and then calls <itself>.bin (→ soffice.bin)

The link in /usr/bin, as well as the symlink in /etc is setup by the
desktop-integration packages.

I don't think you speak about Debian above, do you? Within a Debian system you will fin openoffice in /usr/lib/openoffice/...

Greetings, Tobias
