Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I was doing an upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 using the system updater.

It all seemed to work, except at the end, there is a message in a dialog box titled "Could not install openoffice.org-core", with the contents of the message being "no package named `openoffice.org-core' is installed, cannot configure"

I worked around this by removing all the openoffice packages and then installing them again from the official Gutsy repository.
