[Bug 77296] Re: Request backport OpenOffice 2.1 to Edgy

[JonM]

I was mistaken - the Applications/Office menu items install perfectly
using the .deb files for OpenOffice 2.1.  I had simply been too hasty
before, and failed to look at the menus after I restarted my session.

I tried doing the installation again (going back to a ghosted image of
Edgy w/ OpenOffice 2.04, using Synaptic to uninstall all OpenOffice 2.04
packages, and then "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" from the directory with the deb
files), and this time, after I logged out and back in again, the Office
menus are all correct, because one of the deb files is openoffice.org-
debian-menus_2.1.6_all.deb, which installs the correct menu items.

When you uninstall OpenOffice 2.04, you also uninstall ubuntu-desktop.
I have read that this will prevent an upgrade to Feisty.  That is a
price I am willing to pay to fix the font problems in OOo 2.04 in Edgy -
I only do clean installs anyway.

Here's where I got the installation files (US English, I'm not sure
about other versions):

ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/misc/openoffice/localized/finnish/stable/2.1.0/latest/OOo_2.1
.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz
