          Issue ID: 127288
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Bad instructions for installation (Debian), lack of an
                    INSTALL file inside folder.

  Target Milestone: ---

Instalation for Debian is faulty.
The pdf give us a wrong command to run.
The command itself comes with bad characters from writer when copying to
console.

My suggestion is:

Attach ONLY one TXT file named INSTALL in DEBIANS folder with the CORRECT
syntax, (pdf says openoffice.org*deb and there is NO .org in the files!

Correct, short and happy INSTALL document to come inside DEBIANS folder:

------------------------------------------
"To install, run this commands as root:

dpkg -i --force-overwrite openoffice*.deb
cd desktop-integration
dpkg -i --force-overwrite openoffice*.deb

------------------------------------------

This is the instruction I had to go to wiki to found (why not ALONG with the
.debs?):

######### BAD MANUAL IN BAD SEPARATED AND ONLINE PLACE #########

I say online because the person NEEDS internet to view a wrong info, when a
good info could come INSIDE the package already downloaded.

Type the following command, to install the software:
dpkg -i -–force-overwrite openoffice.org*.deb \
 desktop-integration/openoffice.org-debian-menus*.deb

See bad characters in "--"force-over... a complete disaster! I was almost
throwing all files to trash but I got from the web the right way that OFFICIAL
SITE didn't supply
