I'm very new with Debian, but I dealt with this issue with Red Hat before I switched. Star Office is based on libc6 2.0.7, but will not run properly when faced with 2.1.x. I could load both versions of libc6 in Red Hat and I didn't need to do anything special to get the Star Office to work. I'm still new enough with Debian that I can't seem to figure out yet how to use the --force options in dpkg to concurrently be able to load and use both libc6 versions. Get the packages that libc6 2.0.7 depends on, load them and your Star Office should work. If there are any linking issues or whatever that I don't know of that would be required to make this work, I'll be very happy to be corrected and instructed. Les Eckert
