/me takes a quick butchers at openoffice.org source... Looks like you'll need version 2.0.4 for complete amd64 support. No -bin package, instead you get -core, -base, and a whole bunch of other stuff... Rather a monster of an application just to write a couple of letters.
Looking at this now, I have the choice of 1. downloading and installing each dependent package and the oo itself one by one 2. finding a backport with this version of oo in and adding it to sources 3. finding an amd testing mirror and upgrading the entire sodding box to testing.
Is that right?
If I add debian testing sources just to download 2.0.4 openoffice then return to the stable amd mirror source, I'm going to break things, right? :-)
Thanks Jenny
