Just hit this issue as a result of a repo update yesterday / day before, (5/28, 5/29). The OO update notification was triggering a Partial Upgrade, but if you tried to perform, it would just err out. Packages other than OO could be updated around the issue without problem.
Tried the openoffice.org-java-common install from Aleksander's forum point before having to manually delete the file, and worked for me. My original install on this laptop, I believe, was Hardy beta 5, so whatever the issue is wrt the .xml file not updating, apparently it existed from as recently as that, and there's a decent chance that that recent repo update will be causing problems for those of us who upgraded from betas, rather than doing a fresh install of 8.04 final. -- Java broken in openoffice hardy upgrades https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
