I would try this (I cannot guarantee anything, though): 1) Uninstall openoffice again completely, using the same trick for the problematic pre-removal script. 2) Purge all openoffice packages that still have configuration files on your system, using this command: aptitude purge '~nopenoffice~c' 3) Check /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/ and its sub-folders. If there are any files left then you probably have to remove them manually. 4) Try to install openoffice again and keep your fingers crossed. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
