I don't have any non-ubuntu paths in my apt sources.list. The only non-ubuntu packages listed in aptitude are: libdvdcss2 joystick kernel-image-2.6.15.6-ird So I manually redownloaded the package and installed it: $ sudo dpkg -i /tmp/lib32stdc++6_4.0.3-1ubuntu5_amd64.deb $ ls -l /usr/lib32/libstdc* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2006-06-02 01:53 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.5.0.7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 737496 2005-10-26 05:25 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2006-06-28 11:09 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 870484 2006-04-20 13:49 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6.0.7 Now openoffice works. I have no idea why those files weren't there in the first place though. The only thing I can possibly think of is the nvidia drivers. (I used to install them with their installer package to get the latest version, but uninstalled it once I upgraded to dapper since it already has the new version..) -- openoffice does not start on amd64 https://launchpad.net/bugs/49667 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
