Since I have always used aptitude on this box my question, I suppose, is
why is libneon26 still installed. When I uninstalled whatever was
depending on it aptitude should have uninstalled libneon26 at that
time. The only thing that I can see that SHOULD have created this
situation would be if the previous OOo was compiled for libneon26 and
the current OOo is compiled for libneon25. But I can't see why the
maintainers would use an older library in a newer compile of OOo. Does
anyone have any ideas on this?

The version of openoffice.org on ftp.debian.org depends on libneon26,
whereas the (newer) version on security.debian.org depends on libneon25.
I don't know why this is -- maybe the person who build the etch version
had libneon26-dev installed and OOo picked that up automatically?
