I'm sure everyone probably knows this but the

if you've installed the downloaded version from
OpenOffice.org. I
installed OpenOffice.org 2.0 using 'alien' to
convert the RPMs and
have been enjoying the great office suite without
using backports
for a while now. Then, after upgrading, I noticed
the saving feature
would crash every time and later found on an
OpenOffice.org forum
that the culprit was libfreetype6. Downgrading to
the previous
version fixes the problem.

I don't understand. I have libfreetype6 2.2.1-2,
which is much higher
than 2.1.7-2.5.

This pertains only for those running Debian Sarge 3.1
and OpenOffice.org 2.0 from the OOo website. Anyone
running Unstable/Testing already have a newer version
of libfreetype and OpenOffice.org 2.0 in the
repository.

Those running Stable only have OpenOffice.org 1.1.4
which does not include Base and many other
improvements such as the Open Document format support.
That is why I downloaded it from the website and
installed the RPMS via alien rather than using backports.
