The directory /usr/share/ooo-2.2/share/config does not exist (among others). But where does it come from? (The yast install from the repo did not keep the rpm's. I think that for 2.2 I d/l'ed them myself to my local repo & let yast take it from there.

I am beginning to suspect more and more that there are some directory structure differences between 2.2 and 2.3, and the best bet might be a complete uninstall, cleanup and re-install.

The package OOo-2.3 is split into more pieces. The noarch stuff is moved to /usr/share.

The missing files are in the package OpenOffice_org-icon-themes, see http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/openSUSE_10...

It is strange. There is hard dependency on this package from the main package OpenOffice_org.

Anyway, could you please check if you have it installed?

If it is installed and the problem persists, could you please try the following?

rpm -V OpenOffice_org-icon-themes rpm -qil OpenOffice_org-icon-themes

I am sorry, I should have asked you to check this package in the beginning. I was mixed by your answer that all packages are installed...

The package is installed. The current version is 2.3.0.1.2-5.1 and the rpm -qil output is Name : OpenOffice_org-icon-themes Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.3.0.1.2 Vendor: openSUSE Build Service Release : 5.1 Build Date: Wed 10 Oct 2007 06:39:04 AM IST Install Date: Sat 13 Oct 2007 09:01:43 PM IST Build Host: build15 Group : Productivity/Office/Suite Source RPM: OpenOffice_org-i18n-2.3.0.1.2-5.1.src.rpm Size : 24362053 License: GPL v2 or later, LGPL v2 or later, The non-standard licenses from /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.html: Signature : DSA/SHA1, Wed 10 Oct 2007 06:54:59 AM IST, Key ID 3b3011b76b9d6523 URL : http://www.openoffice.org/ Summary : Icon Themes for OpenOffice.org Description : This package provides various icon themes for the OpenOffice.org office suite.

It seems to want .../ooo-2.0 all the way. In /usr/share I found an ooo subdir and a ooo-2.0 subdir. I moved whatever was in ooo ro ooo-2.0 and replaced it with a symlink, just in case something needs it. All this mix up dates back to a long solved fonts problem with V2.1 or 2.2, which necessitated keeping 2 versions around until it was fixed. Thanks for your help - and what a grind. Even with my symlinks, things like this should just not happen. Regards Daniel
