Re: Aptitude wants to remove OpenOffice.org

Hi Ron,

stable <http://packages.debian.org/stable/editors/openoffice.org> (editors):
OpenOffice.org Office suite version 2.0

Why are you using the upstream binaries instead of the Debian OOo
2.2.x packages?



I'm running Etch and I could not find any V2.2.0 for Etch.
Here's what I found:
stable<http://packages.debian.org/stable/editors/openoffice.org>(editors):
OpenOffice.org Office suite version 2.0.
(Well, it's actually 2.0.4.dfsg.2-etch1.)

Another thing is that I've read in some thread that Debian binaries are
always somewhat behind and they recommended to use the binaries
from the OOo website.

So, I like to hear your point of view on this topic.

Manon.
