I never saw any such link.
I just went back and looked at your previous messages on this thread,
and I don't find it.
Neither apt-cache search libreoffice, nor synaptic show any such files.
Aptitude (my preference) doesn't show them either.
I have all the us debian repos enabled, plus non-free, experimental,
the 3rd party dmm
repo, and lenny-backports.
None of them are offering me libreoffice.

I'd love to try that, but I'm not finding these files offered.

All gnu/linux systems have a great deal of similarities on many levels, sure.
Ubuntu and debian both use dpkg, apt, for package management,
and the file system is similarly arranged.  I concur.
They do not, however, use the same repositories, and packages that appear in an
ubuntu repo are frequently very different from what is in the
Debian/Stable (Ienny) repositories.
A lot of what ships in ubuntu can only be found in sarge or testing,
and, even then,
the packages are not the same (although, yes, when I can't find a
debian specific file,
I have installed "ubuntu" debs for some stuff).
I'm using stable (although I do have backports enabled, which, as I
understand it,
allows me to pull some stuff from testing/squeeze).
For instance, to my knowledge, Karmic has OOo 3.0 or something.
Debian/stable (lenny) still has OOo 2.4.  Big difference.
That is why I point out that I'm using Debian, not Ubuntu; because
they ARE different.

be well,
tony
