Marc, Your original problem is the very reason I just sent my email today entitled "OpenOffice.org 2.0 users beware!". This explains that the libfreetype6 security upgrade causes the saving problem and that you must downgrade to the previous version and hold that package using aptitude. Download the older version here: http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/f/freetype/ select your arch and download version 2.1.7-2.4. Then install using dpgk -i. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
