Re: What is openoffice.org-bin ???
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I run a mixed Ubuntu / Debian system. openoffice.org-bin did work from Ubuntu. Later I added amd64-archive and the version in amd64-archive is newer (1.1.2 vs. 1.1.3), so it got updated. I haven't started it yet since then, so I don't know if it still works. But the version frrom Ubuntu definately does. Regards, Richard Thomas Steffen wrote: On 7/27/05, Hans [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, this works. How did I do it ? It is a little bit tricky, but look at this link: http://www.badopi.org/node/669 I think you can also add the ubuntu repository, and you should be able to just install openoffice.org from there. Unless my memory is failing me, that worked without a glitch.

Re: What is openoffice.org-bin ???
Whenenver I try to install openoffice using apt, apt tells me missing dependencies. Always apt wants to install a package named openoffice.org-bin. As there is no openoffice for amd64 yet, the package that actually contains the binaries (openoffice.org-bin) does not exist on amd64. The only reason you see openoffice packages at all is that some are arch independent. As workaround, I installed the openoffice-packages via download, and then using dpkg --force-install -i openoffice.orgpackage. This works for me, but nevertheless openoffice.org will never be updated, as all packages are now on hold, due to the missing dependencies. That works? Interesting. I'd always thought oo needed a i386-chroot for now. C.

It is a little bit tricky, but look at this link: http://www.badopi.org/node/669 Well, I looked at the entry of the sources.list. From this place I downloaded the entire openoffice-packages and copied them manually to /etc/apt/archives. Then I first installed the most important packages: dpkg --force-all -i openoffice.org-debian-files=1.1.2-2-1.0.1 openoffice.org-amd64 openoffice.org-l10n-en openoffice openoffice.org-ia32-libs After that I could install the other packages, like truetype-fonts, mimelnk etc. Well, I have to admit, that I was playing around a lot until it worked. But now openoffice is running. Good luck ! Best regards Hans

I searched, but I did not find the package at all. And it seems to be neither a meta-package. When I try to install this package, it misses some dependencies, too (ia32-libs***). As workaround, I installed the openoffice-packages via download, and then using dpkg --force-install -i openoffice.orgpackage. This works for me, but nevertheless openoffice.org will never be updated, as all packages are now on hold, due to the missing dependencies. I installed amd64-archive, too. If you installed that then there should be no missing dependencies. Remove all you manualy installed cruft, add the sources.list entries from the amd64-archive mail and install OOo via apt-get. If there is any problem then something is wrong and needs to be told. I wrote this behaviour in the buglist, but it might be, that it is not a bug at all. Is there any clue ? I still have openoffice 1.1.2 working here and have still to use openoffice.org-ia32-libs, as I did not find another way, to get openoffice working. Best regards Hans MfG Goswin PS: I know amd64-libs is missing depends on grep-dctrl and devscripts so make sure you have them installed prior to amd64-archive. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
