hoary updates

[Ross D]

The most recent dist-upgrade broke openoffice, again.  Is there some
major work being done for the amd64 port of openoffice in hoary?  It
is regularly unstable, crashes, and upgrades often break it from even
running at all.  I received the following error message tonight:
ross at demo:/usr/bin $ oowriter
OpenOffice.org for Debian - see /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz
running openoffice.org setup...
version already installed
ExitCode: 17
setup failed (code 0).. abort
---- Please read /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz for
known problems -----

Also, apt-get dist-upgrade is holding the following packages back:

  libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomevfs2-common libwvstreams3-base

This is causing some minor bugs, is it safe to upgrade manually?
