[nmglug] installing openoffice 1.1.4 in straight debian?

[js at jasonschaefer.com]

This does not appear to work, at leat reliably.

added to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ experimental main

#apt-get update
#apt-get install -t experimental openoffice.org
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  openoffice.org: Depends: openoffice.org-l10n-en (> 1.1.3+1.1.4) but it
is not going to be installed or
                           openoffice.org-l10n-1.1.4
E: Broken packages

#apt-get install -t experimental openoffice.org openoffice.org-l10n-en
openoffice.org-l10n-en is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  openoffice.org-l10n-en: Conflicts: openoffice.org (< 1.1.4+1.1.5) but
1.1.4-2 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Looks like others have found this too:
