DEB-Package openoffice.org-l10n-de conflicts other openoffice.org packages

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-l10n-de

Hi.

I'm on Hardy Heron and have the testing, unstable und backport repositories activated. Some days ago the update-manager notified me of updates to many of the openoffice.org packages and of course I went ahead and installed them - with the result that most packages where in fact uninstalled due to a conflict.

Now I got it up and running again but without german help files. My system's default locale is en-US but I also prefer to have de-DE packages installed, since my mother tounge is German. Unfortunatly the package openoffice.org-l10n-de seems to have broken dependencies. This means whenever I try to install it the package manager wants to remove most of the other openoffice.org packages. I suspect it has to do with the following dependencies:

Recommends: openoffice.org-core (> 1:2.4.0)
Conflicts: openoffice.org-core (>= 1:2.4.0.1)
Conflicts: openoffice.org-core (< 1:2.4.0)

So basically it wants openoffice.org-core (1:2.4.0). The currently installed version from the repositories is 1:2.4.1~rc1-1ubuntu1.

Probably this is an invalid bug since I'm running backport packages of which some might simply not be up to date. But I thought I'd rather report anyway.

Thanks for your attention and all the good work.
Dennis

The openoffice.org-l10n 1:2.4.1~rc1-1ubuntu1 packages were uploaded a few days ago (June 1) so it should be installable as soon as those make it into hardy-proposed as well. I uploaded 1:2.4.1~rc2-1ubuntu1 today but it is still sitting in the approval queue.

Thanks,
