Hey guys,
Usually, I update my OpenOffice.org installation by uninstalling OpenOffice:
sudo apt-get remove openoffice*
... and downloading the Linux DEB straight from OpenOffice.org and installing it.
This time around, I added the OpenOffice.org PPA (https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa), just for kicks, and installed it. Unfortunately, I left openoffice.org running, and that might have messed around with some things.
Long story short, I tried to uninstall openoffice.org using the same method as described above, except now, dpkg reported that it couldn't find the package, even though I hadn't altered my software sources. Eventually, I went into Synaptic and got trigger happy with the openoffice packages, and removed any I could find.
THEN, I tried to install the Linux DEB, which proceeded fine. Only problem now being that the program won't actually run properly. When I click on the button to open a new document, OO crashes and throw up an error submission dialogue.
I've tried "sudo apt-get purge openoffice*", followed by autoremove and autoclean, but nothing has changed.
Help!
