I believe that he has. He was not aware of the splitting of the different parts of the OpenOffice_org package. MOST of us were not. When MAJOR changes, as this was, are made to packages, these changes need to be broadcast in prominent locations, such as this list. This was not and is not regularly done. The knowledge only becomes available after many people have many problems with a package that "used to just work".
The list is not enough: many people think of asking somewhere, after they get "the problem". It would be better if the installer gave some warning, like a popup, same as the kernel does.
-- Cheers, Carlos E. R. I will probably be installing 10.3 very soon. First, what do I have to do to make OO work like it always did. Second, what do I have to do to keep the files that I downloaded onto 9.3 from KMail, short of recording them to a CD or DVD, if that that not possible?
