I forgot to test the location of the profile. The home directory mentioned is located on a nfs share.
Additional research now shows that the problem only exists if the .openoffice.org2 profile is located on the nfs share. Moving the profile to a local disk resolves the problem. This makes the bug of a low priority, it is more a bug for openoffice and has nothing to do with the packaging. I have filed a bug in the openoffice bugtracker thanks! -- Unopkg package manager does not open https://launchpad.net/bugs/57591 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
