Comment 15 for bug 117648

Tomas, no need to apologize, this is the first time I am submitting here so I didn't know what your status was or wether you could change anything in the repositories. Do you know who can make such changes?

Regarding what Laur said: couldn't there just be an update which would force the install of the openoffice.org package if someone has any of the other openoffice.org packages installed (I don't know anything about the internals of updates)? That would fix the problem. I think this is very important especially since more and more people are using Ubuntu and OpenOffice is probably one of the critical applications that people that don't have too much experience with Linux want to use. For an end user Feisty basically has a broken OpenOffice install (even though it is trivial to fix if you find these postings) which is not an impression that you want to give to first time users or people that have recently switched to Ubuntu. Also, an update would, in a sense, have an effect even on existing ISOs since after the install you get prompted for updates and this would immediately fix the problem for both new and existing installs.
