This didn't work for me.  The AMD64 version is missing almost all the
files.  This is possibly only temporary?  I tried using the standard
version but neither apt-get nor synaptic successfully marked all the
OOo files for upgrade.  This is no doubt because I have an AMD64
version of Ubuntu installed.





The reason I am interested in the upgrade is that I have weird problem
- Open Office refuses to open any files on an NFS share as read-write. 
I have the files stored on a fileserver running Kubuntu 5.10, and they
are owned by a user with the same UID on both machines. I am logged in
as that user on the client machine (but not on the server).  I can open
and save files on the same NFS share with other applications - Kate, The
Gimp, etc.  Well, that's one of the reasons.  The other is that I'm a
bit fed up with the beta version locking up the machine when it
crashes...:(
