Just changed to Etch AMD64, and OO behaves oddly, I suspect connected to Java in some way.
Suspecting this might be something to do with Java, I tried to install both the Sun JRE 64bit and 32 bit versions in addition to the FSF one. They appeared to go in fine, but the only one OO is aware of in the OPTONS>Java menu is the FSF one. How does OO become aware of a JRE? You're invited to supply classes and so on, but I can't figure out how to do that because of not being able to find anything it will agree is a Jre. Where would I look for such a thing?
How did you install Sun Java? If you didn't, then I'd suggest you try using Debian's java-package tool like this:
# apt-get install java-package fakeroot $ fakeroot make-jpkg name-of-downloaded-java-binary.bin # dpkg -i name-of-created-package.deb
(note that the middle step has to be done as a non-root user; and that java-package is in contrib)
This may put the JRE in a location where OOo can find it.
