Comment 7 for bug 205322

I see the same problem here; moving the ~/.openoffice.org2 directory aside does *not* make the error go away, indeed, checking .openoffice.org2 after trying OOo again shows that ~/.openoffice.org2/user/basic/script.xlc has been recreated with the identical content.

However, on a completely fresh account, this doesn't happen. The difference is that on my regular account, I have a pre-existing .openoffice settings directory, which is where these settings are migrated from somehow. But, I've been using OOo 2.x on this system for some time, so it appears that the brokenness is present in the *previously* migrated settings in .openoffice.org2.

On that basis, I'm milestoning this bug for the 8.04 release. While dapper included OOo 2 and therefore any system installed as dapper or newer should not be affected by this bug, anyone who's upgraded continuously from an older version of Ubuntu may suddenly find themselves with this regression.
