Public bug reported:

I'm in 8.04 with all updates done as of today, and somewhere in the last
few day openoffice started failing, i.e. a short splash screen appears
and then goes away.  Running any openoffice application from the command
line is the same, and no output is generated in the console window.  I
did apt-get purge "openoffice*" followed by apt-get install
openoffice.org.  I also tried various things I saw on the net like
removing the openoffice.org-gtk package and removing my .openoffice.org2
from my home directory, but nothing changes the behavior.  I did gdb
soffice.bin and it shows a seg fault. Sorry I don't have the debugging
symbols.  Hope this helps.  I've read from others that I can install the
Sun version and it will work, but I'm going to hold off until I really
need it.  Hopefully in the next week or so a fix will be propogated.
Seg faults are easy to debug:)

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
