Open Office problems

[Michael Bonertz]

I'm running kubuntu Intrepid.

I have ppa.launchpad.net in my apt sources files.

This morning I did an upgrade that was available, and it was largely 
Open Office stuff from that site.
After the upgrade, Open Office doesn't work. 
It starts up and tells me it needs to retrieve a file from a crash, and 
whether you tell it yes or no, it crashes.

I had to comment out the launchpad source and reinstall Open Office 2.4 
to get a working version.

I prefer running 3.0.  I can install 3.0 from source, or directly from 
Open Office.  Would rather use version in the repositories.  Any ideas?
