Openoffice.org 3.1

Has anyone else experienced a circular dependency problem with Ooo 3.1
for Lenny?  After I install the package there is a large number of
packages I can no longer install.  It seems that the main problem is
that so many packages depend on "dictionaries-common."  My "sort-of" fix
is to uninstall Ooo 3.1, install dictionaries-common, install the
package that I want, then finally reinstall Ooo 3.1.  This process
usually get the results I want.  However, sometimes it still uninstalls
the packages I want, plus this defeats the whole purpose of using dpkg.

Thanks in advance for any advice,

- Jeremy Ford

 Are you really using dpkg to install them? I would suggest to use a
more highlevel tool like apt-get or aptitude or anything else...
Wasn't a problem to upgrade with aptitude here after the usual build
delay for i386.

 So long!
