This pertains only for those running Debian Sarge 3.1 and OpenOffice.org 2.0 from the OOo website. Anyone running Unstable/Testing already have a newer version of libfreetype and OpenOffice.org 2.0 in the repository. Those running Stable only have OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 which does not include Base and many other improvements such as the Open Document format support. That is why I downloaded it from the website and installed the RPMS via alien rather than using backports. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
