I had the same problem - missing files in that lib32stdc++6 package. This really can't be a coincidence; some postinst/preinst somewhere is nuking the files.
The workaround I used was the same as above; dpkg --remove lib32stdc++6 apt-get install lib32stdc++6 And now OOo starts! Yay! :) -- 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
