Here are the relevant dependencies. You can check with your existing system to find out whether any major/important libraries are being pulled in from backports. $ apt-cache show openoffice.org-bin Package: openoffice.org-bin Priority: optional Section: editors Installed-Size: 126976 Maintainer: Debian OpenOffice Team <debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org> Architecture: i386 Source: openoffice.org Version: 1.1.3-9 Replaces: openoffice.org1.1-bin, openoffice.org-gnome Provides: openoffice.org1.1-bin Depends: libart-2.0-2 (>= 2.3.16), libaudio2, libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libcurl3 (>= 7.13.1-1), libdb4.2++, libfreetype6 (>= 2.1.5-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.4.1-3), libice6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libmyspell3, libneon23 (>= 0.23.9.dfsg.3), libsm6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libstartup-notification0 (>= 0.8-1), libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1), libstlport4.6, libx11-6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxaw7 (>> 4.1.0), libxext6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxt6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1), libfontconfig1, debconf (>= 1.2.0) | debconf-2.0, openoffice.org (>> 1.1.2+1.1.3) Conflicts: openoffice.org1.1-bin Filename: pool/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-bin_1.1.3-9_i386.deb Size: 43832154 MD5sum: 89bb8a7a71d0f2d1d9b97a2b9846bf3d Description: OpenOffice.org office suite binary files OpenOffice.org is a full-featured office productivity suite that provides a near drop-in replacement for Microsoft(R) Office. .
