Hi, I just had to re-install Open Office on my Sid system. I had the Open Office installed on the system. I purged the packages, and manually removed any left over OpenOffice directories and other references from the system. Then I went on to install the Open Office again (from scratch) and the package basically failed the installation. I managed to install most of it including openoffice.org_1.1.0-3_all.deb by cheating but the dictionaries refuse to install with the following message:
