Is it possible that your 2.0.3 version left some files when you overwrote it with 2.0.4? When I replaced 2.0.2 with 2.0.4, the installer put it in /opt rather than /usr, much to my surprise, and so it is not searching the old files for anything. What if, you do a complete uninstall of OOo including config files, and then do a clean install of 2.0.4? I am using 6.06 Dapper on my dev box.
