Its function is to pull in those other packages by depending on them. It's a convenience feature for people who don't want to figure out exactly which Openoffice packages they need and which they don't (not a trivial task). If you only want some of the Openoffice stuff install the packages individually. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Upgrading OO.o, right hand doesn't know what left hand is doing
Updating my testing system this morning, I noticed that OpenOffice was being upgraded, so I shut down my open spreadsheet. When configuring openoffice.org-writer2latex, aptitude complained "OpenOffice.org is running right now. This can cause problems with (de-)registration of components and extensions. You should close all running instances of OpenOffice.org (including any currently running Quickstarter) before proceeding with the package upgrade." So I opened a root terminal, did 'ps aux | grep office', found soffice.bin running, killed it, and proceeded. A little later, aptitude complained again of OpenOffice.org running. As I was watching the upgrade output, I saw docvert REstart OpenOffice, so that soffice.bin was running again! I killed it again and the upgrade proceeded without further incident. I've submitted a bug report against docvert (there being some 32 packages associated with OO.o!! I knew it was bloatware, but 32?!) This is just FYI should someone else encounter the same issue.
