did you have a chance to look at it yet? there's quite a substantial
number of packages depending on matplotlib that cant migrate to
testing until this issue is fixed, so we'd greatly appreciate it if
you can investigate it soon.

What about reporting a bug? execute

$ reportbug openoffice.org

providing the actual problem you're facing ("it doesn't open document"
is a little too generic) and all other information you can gather
(strace oowriter , $HOME/.xsession-errors, to name 2) so that
maitainer would be aware of the problem, and help you fix it.

I'm sorry, but that's not the case: Debian is *only* main, non-free is
a commodity place we provide for our users, it's not that something
broked in non-free would stop the release to happen.

That's surely a problem, not a blocking one.

What made the release team to decide to stay with .26 is that kernel
and security teams assured their support along all the lenny life,
that all other "thing" heavily coupled with the kernel (for example
xen, selinux, nfs, etc) have been tested and (almost) proved working
with that kernel version. Changing kernel now would be a big mistake.

Hope this clarify the situation.

You can look at the diff with zless .diff.gz . The
debian/changelog file should contain even some references for the
patch applied and why.

No, you need to explicitly request to install packages from
experimental using "-t experimental" option.

thanks for clarify it! I was referring to sid, while for stable it's
correct what you said. I CCed the list, since it might be of help to
someone else.

for sure "linux-image-2.6-amd64" lets you have always the latest 2.6
kernel for amd64 installed. apt-cache show it and check Depends line:
it should have (if your machine is enough up-to-date) the version
2.6.25-2.

I got /boot on / + LVM + xfs + lilo + 2.6.2x :)

waht you have to do is put the MODULES=dep in /etc/initram*/init*conf
(don't remember the name) then regenerate the initramdisk(if you use
lilo, then run "lilo") and reboot.

help you (it's better if you give us some more clues about your

the initramdisk.

That was the problem (even if I really don't know how this could be
happened: the pc is new, bought 2 months ago)!! After a

# apt-get --reinstall install g++-4.2

everything is working fine now!

You could execute it with

$ gdb skype
 then run
