Comment 18 for bug 151093

I don't know what "as official as you get" means :-( It seems to me that I would be offered to update the packages if they were official. Maybe I've done something wrong, but the machines here are all configured with repositories exactly the way Kubuntu configures them out-of-the-box, [we are very careful not to mess with that, having ended up in deep trouble in the past by trying to use non-official packages] and the version of OO.o that I'm running is the latest one offered, which is :1:2.4.1-11ubuntu2.1 (intrepid-updates).

So if I have to wait, I'll wait. Having a hosed production machine (as has happened all too often in the past when following advice to move away from official packages) is too high a price. It seems like there are OO.o updates fairly frequently anyway, so presumably we'll get another one before long.
