Package: openoffice.org Version: 1:3.2.1-4 Severity: normal The openoffice entries in /etc/mailcap do not work. The problem is they all make use of -no-oosplash, which appears to be no longer supported, and therefore the program cannot be run.
Removing all the instances of -no-oosplash from the entries in /etc/mailcap fixes the problem. You can verify this by typing $ see mydocument.doc My work-around is to edit /etc/mailcap in precisely the way I have described. cheers, Simon -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_NZ.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openoffice.org depends on: ii liblucene2-java 2.9.2+ds1-1 Full-text search engine library fo ii openoffice.org-base 1:3.2.1-4 office productivity suite -- datab ii openoffice.org-calc 1:3.2.1-4 office productivity suite -- sprea ii openoffice.org-core 1:3.2.1-4 office productivity suite -- arch- ii openoffice.org-draw 1:3.2.1-4 office productivity suite -- drawi ii openoffice.org-filter-mobile 1:3.2.1-4 office productivity suite -- mobil ii openoffice.org-impress 1:3.2.1-4 office productivity suite -- prese ii openoffice.org-java-common 1:3.2.1-4 office productivity suite -- arch- ii openoffice.org-math 1:3.2.1-4 office productivity suite -- equat ii openoffice.org-officebean 1:3.2.1-4 office productivity suite -- Java ii openoffice.org-report-builde 1:3.2.1-4 OpenOffice.org extension for build ii openoffice.org-writer 1:3.2.1-4 office productivity suite -- word ii ttf-dejavu 2.31-1 Metapackage to pull in ttf-dejavu- ii ttf-sil-gentium-basic 1.1-2 smart Unicode font families (Basic Versions of packages openoffice.org recommends: ii openoffice.org-filter- 1:3.2.1-4 office productivity suite -- legac ii ttf-liberation 1.05.2.20091019-4 Fonts with the same metrics as Tim ii ttf-mscorefonts-instal 3.2 Installer for Microsoft TrueType c Versions of packages openoffice.org suggests: ii cups-bsd 1.4.3-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) -
