Hi, After purging and reinstalling all openoffice.org packages, things work fine again. I'm putting the severity back to normal, but I'm not closing the bug, as it may still contain information to you, but I leave that for you to decide. It works for me now.
Some observations made during purge: - can't remove /var/state/openoffice/ because it does not exist; - /etc/openoffice is left astray; - /usr/lib/openoffice is left astray, containing only the link: /usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo -> /usr/share/myspell/dicts After I reinstalled openoffice.org, mozilla mail keeps starting abiword to view application/msword attachments. I solved this by purging abiword for now, but is there a better way apart from putting openoffice: application/msword in /etc/mailcap.order and rerunning update-mime? Cheers, Joost
