Openoffice 3.1 and Debian Lenny

Dear Go-oo team,

Yesterday, we installed OpenOffice 3.1 Version 9399 from
http://go-oo.mirrorbrain.org/stable/linux-i586/3.1/ on debian Lenny
(using alien to convert the rpm-Packages into deb-Packages).

However, we detected one problem: apparently, OO3.1 uses its own
libcairo.so.2 - library, which depends on a newer version of
libpixman-1-0 than installed in Lenny (Lenny uses Version 0.10.0-2).
This produces the error-message

/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: symbol lookup
error: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/program/libcairo.so.2:
undefined symbol: pixman_region32_init

and results in a crash of OpenOffice.

We succeded to solve the problem on our machines by updating
libpixman-1-0 to the version used in Debian Squeeze (Version 0.14.0-1).
After, everything works as expected.

Now, I don't know whether to consider this a bug in openoffice or in the
go-oo - compiled packages or not? However, as I expect every user of
Debian Lenny trying to install OpenOffice 3.1 from go-oo.org will having
the same problem, its should be documentet somewhere? (Maybe it is
already, and I just did not found it;-))

Yours,

Axel

And anyone who is using Debian lenny should if possible wait for 3.1
appearing in www.backports.org (won't have that problem)
