The error thrown is 'com::sun::star::deployment::DeploymentException'. Rene mentioned that
the error may have been only in 1:3.1.1-14 version. However that is not fully certain. We never
shiped -14. So we may be safe. A search in launchpad did only find a single com::sun::star::deployment::DeploymentException' hit (and only on armel). I think we need some
further confirmation and research that we are not affected but it does not look too bad.

If we are affected the fix appears to be very difficult as it may affect files in:
• /var/spool/openoffice
• /var/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/program/services.rdb
• ~/.openffice.org/3
and there is no way of detecting if a rdb file is broken other than that OOo crashes.
