I tried installing the openoffice .debs directly from http://people.debian.org/~nidd/debian, but had no luck, so I tried your source instead and got: [EMAIL PROTECTED] nobak]$ sudo apt-get install openoffice Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Package openoffice has no available version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list E: Package openoffice has no installation candidate Any ideas how to fix this?
