Would not it be better to compile a Openoffice 3.2 for Maemo 5?

Is it not feasible?

I would love to see this happening.
Also, I keep having problems fetching some packages... (EG: libc-dev-bin_2.10.2-2_armel.deb and no, updating the package list didn't solved anything)
I guess that switching to ubuntu would also save me tons of time figuring out about those "broken" repos

I had already tried out the effect of removing openoffice.org-gtk, because I thought I would anyway be able to reinstall, but now found that only the old 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1+lenny3 exists for armel. Neither squeeze nor sid seem to support the armel architecture for openoffice at all!?

...correct! The Debian team can't get newer versions of OpenOffice to compile for them, so they've pulled them from their repositories. The Ubuntu team has the same problem, incidentally, but they get around it by taking a binary bit from the old OpenOffice and slipping it into the new version.

qole, does the openoffice.org-gtk 1:3.1.1-8 armel package exist somewhere on the web, or would I have to go back to the pristine v3b image if I wanted it back?

Please advise on this seemingly simple issue:

The LXDE menu ("start button") in Easy Debian is now gone or hidden. The 'processer used' bar graph is also missing. I cannot browse through the different applications within LXDE now. I have searched heavily and can't figure out how to restore the LXDE menu ("start button"). I'm sure this is operator error, please advise.

Thank you again for creating such a great application!

With the new easy-deb-chroot package you should upgrade to the new image v3b to have the application icon back. The new image is significantly improved, new openoffice.org for instance, so you probably want it anyway.

Thanks for the tip, how do I upgrade to the v3b image? My Application Manager is not showing any needed upgrades on the N900 at this point (I just checked).

Please let me know

In the (Maemo) Application menu, just after the other Debian app icons, you should have the app "Deb Img Install" for doing that.
