A package which is supposed to be gone can't be "unusable" because it's not supposed to be used. Maybe you meant serious if you meant it being "uninstallable"? > > Yes, no longer built.

When the transition is over -gtk should work again. (But yeah, I fixed the description already: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-openoffice/libreoffice.git/commit/?id=b5047f3a3e69f91b82926c403e0e13e52d461f01) > No, the transition is already over. The problem is that the real -gtk2 the real -gtk. -gtk2 is new. The transition is ongoing _now_, for stretch.

You need to say what the real packages are, either say No, it does. When there's only one provider it will choose that one provider. See e.g. [1] (Right now not because the "real" one does still exist and apt prefers that.) Regards, Rene [1] $ sudo apt install libreoffice-grammarcheck-en-us Paketlisten werden gelesen...
