I'm having an issue with Aptitude that I'm not sure how to
correct. I was having an issue with OpenOffice so I decided the
easiest way to resolve the problem might be to completely remove
it, then re-install it. That is when the problem began. Aptitude
hung trying to remove openoffice.org-writer2latex.

Thanks Florian. Commenting out 2 thru x lines of the script in fact
worked. I was able to do a aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade.
Next when I went to add openoffice.org back in, the silly thing hangs
right back at the same package:
rattler:~# aptitude install openoffice.org
[...]
Updating fontconfig cache for /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation
Setting up openoffice.org-officebean (1:2.4.1-17+b1) ...
Setting up openoffice.org-writer2latex (0.5-8) ...
Adding extension
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/writer2latex.uno.pkg...
I would try this (I cannot guarantee anything, though):
1) Uninstall openoffice again completely, using the same trick for the
problematic pre-removal script.
2) Purge all openoffice packages that still have configuration files on
your system, using this command:
aptitude purge '~nopenoffice~c'
3) Check /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/ and its sub-folders. If
there are any files left then you probably have to remove them
manually.
4) Try to install openoffice again and keep your fingers crossed.
Florian, thank you so much. That did the trick. I was able to remove it
completely (verified via dpkg -l | grep office). I was then able to
install it successfully, and now OO works where it did not work before.
Thank you so much for your time and patience!!
Mike
