Openoffice crashes when using the wizard to add dictionaries

[Bo|nKeR]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-writer

Kubuntu Feisty Fawn, Openoffice 2.2.0.

When I'm trying to add a new dictonary with the wizard help, openoffice writer crashes.

File-->Wizards-->Install new dictionaries-->Crash.

Just to conform that I've found this problem too. It also happens when following the instructions at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries for offline installation.

Same problem over here, the wizard crashes OOo.

Same for me... does anyone know why though? Is it because of OpenOffice 2.2.0 or because of Feisty? Could we just revert to an older version of OO or is there a fix?

[Bo|nKeR (boinker)]

Yes, there is a fix/workaround:

apt-get --purge remove of Open Office "complete";

apt-get install openoffice.org (from Kubuntu's official repositories)

Good luck ;-)
