Thanks in advance, I can't remove it or install it, see 2 command below:

If apt says it 'is not going to be installed, it may mean that your setup may not configured to get the version it needs. eg. if your setup is for 'stable' and it needs a package from 'testing' or 'unstable', this could happen. Sometimes I say 'apt-get install pkg/unstable' to fix this. But you have to decide if you want unstable pacakges.

I just wanted to blow it out and reintall it so the "dpkg --purge openoffice-de-en" worked. I did't try the 'apt-get install pkg/unstable'.
This all started when, I installed knoppix which had default testing and edited /etc/apt/apt.conf to stable. I had heard only stable gets security patches, but I like the fact that more hardware is autodetected in knoppix. This might have caused the errors I was seeing. Thanks guys.
