I am not sure what version of Orgmode this corresponds to...What does M-x org-version RET say. If Debian picks from Emacs-24.1 bzr repo then the Orgmode there is atleast 2 months old. If they are picking up from GNU ELPA, http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ then it is likely to be fairly recent. > There, the export of documents with footnotes seems to be broken. Footnote export in ODT was known to be broken[1] with the following is true: ,---- | (setq org-footnote-section nil) `---- May I know what value do you use one your end?

Providing a complete Org file (with footnotes) is necessary so that there is no confusion on what we are looking at. With a footnotes added, I was able to export just fine with the version of Org in the git repo. > In a more complex document, libreoffice crashed when trying to open > the document, and I recognised missing closing xml tags in > content.xml. To debug such issues see FAQ and Org manual. - http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#debugging-org-odt - (info "(org) Validating OpenDocument XML") You most likely need OpenDocument schema files available for validation to proceed. This you can confirm by checking the value of: C-h v org-export-odt-schema-dir or visiting the directory C-h v org-odt-data-dir ODF schema files are available from the git repo. See link below. Make sure you download the files in raw form. http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=tree;f=contrib/odt/etc/schema;hb=HEAD Let me know how things go. --
