Hi all,

I have a problem, which was probably the most FAQ in the users list in
couple of months ago. 

The problem is that installing gnome2.2 backported to woody from Jamie's
repository will remove openoffice.org derived from deb
ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice/ woody main
contrib. The problem is unmatched version used in both packages.
Gnome2.2 requires libfreetype6 2.1.3-10woody1, while openoffice.org
libfreetype6 < 2.1.0

When I typed apt-get install openoffice.org-bin, the following messages
were displayed

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
 
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
 
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  openoffice.org-bin: Depends: libfreetype6 (< 2.1.0) but 2.1.3-10woody1
is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages

My temporary solution is downloading openoffice.org-bin and other
related packages separately and dpkg -i <packages>. It works, however
dselect/aptitude/apt-get complains about this incompability. 

Can we have the same version of libfreetype6? I know it is the risk to
run a mixed system.
