I don't know what the problem could be, but if you can't find a solution, you could try openoffice-bin instead.

Same problem here. It's something with freetype that causes this. OpenOffice tries to unpack freetype with tar and tar crashes claiming that '-xvf' are incorrect flags. See below for the complete error message. Perhaps a maintainer can look at this?

---

mkdir: cannot create directory `./unxlngi4.pro/misc/': File exists
cd ./unxlngi4.pro/misc/build && ( sh -c "gunzip -c ../../../download/freetype-2.1.3.tar.gz | tar -xvf - ") && touch so_unpacked
tar: Bad Option: -xvf.
Usage: tar cmd [options] file1 ... filen

Use tar -help
and tar -xhelp
to get a list of valid cmds and options.

Use tar H=help
to get a list of valid archive header formats.

Use tar diffopts=help
to get a list of valid diff options.

gunzip: stdout: Broken pipe
