That's probably the problem right? Yes, it will take a while for -6 to reach testing because we don't have a machine available at the moment to build for the sparc architecture. You could temporarily add unstable to your sources.list. But first set your default release to testing so that no other packages get upgraded to unstable versions. Create a file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/default-release containing the line: APT::Default-Release "testing"; Then add a line in your sources.list for unstable main: deb http://ftp.debian.org[or whatever your mirror is]/debian main unstable Run 'apt-get update' and then apt-get -t unstable install openoffice.org That should hopefully upgrade just openoffice.org and the dependencies it needs.
