Well, writable is give, given it's in a system path. Only root had to
do something here, noone else :)
readable, well, this is how it loks here (clean sid/amd64 chroot + OOo

Well, it's the extension repository/cache, and you apparently had
extensions installed system-wide (either as root with unopkg --shared
or with packages containing extensions)
I guess that's why only root could run openoffice.org, and noone
Yep.
else, not even a new user (as I just discovered). I deleted
everything under that directory, and it works again for all users.
Bad. You lost all extensions you ever installed system-wide (that includes
some openoffice.org-* packages). I'd do a apt-get install --reinstall of
those...
I had no Debian-packaged openoffice.org extensions installed when I deleted that
directory (but might have in the past who knows...). And if I did sometime in
the past install a system-wide extension and bypass the dpkg system, I'm glad
its gone now anyway...
After now installing an extension (I chose openoffice.org-pdfimport), my
/var/spool/openoffice/uno_packages/cache
looks just like yours. I'm optimistic! :-)
Thanks!
