I've had a quick look and I can't find where that restart is coming from,
other than the main docvert-converter initscript.

That initscript does need to start soffice in order for docvert to
function. But the postinst start doesn't do any gratuitous restarts of it as
far as I can tell.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I don't see anything the docvert package can
do, should I reassign this bug to openoffice.org-writer2latex?

Cheers,
Francois

Bug#559455: openoffice: Upgrade restarts OO.o, which prevents further upgrade

[Patrick Wiseman]

Package: docvert
Version: 3.4-13
Severity: important
File: openoffice


While configuring openoffice.org-writer2latex, aptitude complains that 
OpenOffice.org is running, even though I've shut it down and killed 
soffice.bin once already in response to the same complaint.  Turns out 
the upgrade of docvert REstarted soffice.bin, so I had to kill it again.  
The first error could thoroughly confuse many users, the second befuddle 
them completely.
