Not sure why this was assigned to openoffice.org...

Sorry Chris, I forgot to change that.

Hi there,

I got this debugging report in another way, but it describes the curl error and pins down a program line, so please have a look at it.

I got this by running '$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -ap low' and debugging it by attaching the 'pidof' dpkg-reconfigur.

Cheers,

Thomas
