This puzzles me. So you already have OOo installed, so why don't ypu
just do a proper (dist-)upgrade instead of a apt-get install openoffice.org?

Anyways, this Pre-Dependency thankfully won't be needed anymore in 3.3

And this config is total nonsense anyways. You have everything from unstable
anyways.
This BTS is not a support forum for people who are not able to update their
unstable systems in over half a year and then think they must do that with
apt-get install openoffice.org and not with (dist-)upgrade, sorry.
apt-get install openoffice.org works, in both sid and lenny and a

ancient.

Uptodate sid.

There you already have the uptodate -report-builder.

This explains why the old -help-en-us is supposed to be removed. Do a
dist-upgrade and it'll correctly update it.

If you *really* insist on using apt-get install, specify this, too at least.
"openoffice.org" is just a dummy package without any content, but just with
dependencies on OOos modules.
