That's a feature of apt.

You've used apt-get update. apt-get update only installs newer version
of the package installed. If the dependencies change and some
dependencies are not installed on your system net (in this case
openoffice.org-debian-files) apt-get upgrade does not upgrade them.

In such cases, use apt-get dist-upgrade. dselect regognizes deps
anyway ans installs them.

Regards,

Rene
