Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
On a clean install of Ubuntu 9.04 on a MacBook Pro from CD, then running updates with the Update Manager (I did nothing else whatsoever), I get:
Setting up openoffice.
Adding extension /usr/lib/
Please ensure that the package openoffice.
If it is already installed then try removing ~/.openoffice.
javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!
Please ensure that the package openoffice.
If it is already installed then try removing ~/.openoffice.
The update manager then hangs and will not close. I can probably resolve this in Terminal, but the casual user would not be able to do this. This seems like poor and very problematic behavior for a standard install, especially of a long-term release.
I was able to kill update-manager and dpkg manually from a Terminal and then run dpkg --configure -a and it went right through the same error without stopping. Odd. I let Update Manager sit there for a good 10 minutes before I gave up on it.
