I guess I missed that discussion. I'll look into it. > The openoffice.org-common postinst only calls update-openoffice-dicts, and > openoffice.org-style-default has no maintainer scripts. The openoffice.org-common package has config files. Those don't get installed until it gets configured and are named ".dpkg-new" until that point. I don't know if any of the packages depending on openoffice.org-common need them, but I guess so. Afaik, once dpkg breaks the dependency loop, and it decides to do openoffice.org-style-default first, openoffice.org-common can be configured after all the packages that depend on it, and that doesn't look like a good thing to me.
