I waited until today for launchpad-repos to get back on-line. But in a forum thread I read that they will not and, instead, OO3 will apper in JJ. In the meantime I tried several places and several .deb files to reinstall OO3 with no {luck, success,…} Finally today I wrote
———
$sudo apt-get remove openoffice*.*
———
and installed native OO2.4 via Applications->Add/Remove OpenOffice.org Suite and I’m at peace until JJ. Since I write everything in TeX and OO is just for crossover tasks and to accomodate my (let’s say) customers (statistical analysis) I am OK.
(In one of these forums a gyu attacked all of us that were impatient by saying that an application is always a part of OS. I do not completely agree with him but now I am a bit closer … Nevertheless, I learned a lot from tinkering with this these several days (27.11. to 01.12)

Wow. I haven’t tried Intrepid yet, but if it has something called “Cruft Remover” that randomly removes packages, I don’t think I should. How could anyone think that was a good idea? Somebody with too much free time on their hands.

hello,

until yesterday I was a happy user of OpenOffice 3.0 (Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10) on Amd64 machine and Intel32 laptop.

yesterday, after some ugrades, on two machines I have answered Yes to Cruft Remover’s question about removing uno-libs3 package. after that my OO is unusable.

I tried everything: update-ing, reinstalling from different locations and different files but no luck.

I’ve installed OOffice 3.0 bu adding ppa launchpad repositories (which are broken now) in Synaptic and by doing apt-get dist-upgrade.

now I am left without both versions, 3.0 wipped 2.* and 3.0 is gone due to my stupid answer to a controversial question.

is there any help or should I wait… what, update from Ubuntu or …?

.docx files crash it, hard and fast. Then it attempts to recover the docx, which also crashes it. Not there yet, sorry.
