Steve, *thanks* for taking this seriously even at this very late stage.

I came across this, verified it, and tried to create a patch altering the dependencies, back in July, but Chris said there were space issues and he'd try to fit it on the CD. Then there was no change to the bug in LP until Oct 14, when I got an email from LP saying:

** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu)
     Assignee: Chris Cheney (ccheney) => (unassigned)
       Status: Confirmed => Triaged
       Target: intrepid-alpha-6 => None

I interpreted that as basically meaning something like "Chris gave up on getting this into Intrepid".

You asked for any bugs not in your lists that should be fixed... so I pointed you to this one. As a relative newcomer to the world of Ubuntu bug-fixing and MOTU work, what could or should I have done to raise the visibility of this bug earlier? It was already marked as High importance... and it looked like Chris was aware of it and had a plan to deal with it. How could I have done better in handling this bug?

Thanks,

Jonathan
