This is caused by:
check_for_running_ooo() {
if [ -e /usr/lib/openoffice/program/bootstraprc ]; then
LOCKFILE="`grep UserInstallation
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/bootstraprc | cut -d= -f2 | sed -e
's,SYSUSERCONFIG,HOME,'`/.lock"
PID=`pgrep soffice.bin | head -n 1`
if [ -n "$PID" ] || [ -e "$LOCKFILE" ]; then
if [ "$DEBIAN_FRONTEND" = "noninteractive" ]; then
echo "OpenOffice.org running!" >&2
echo "" >&2
echo -n "OpenOffice.org is running right now
with pid " >&2
echo -n "$PID." >&2
echo " This can cause problems" >&2
echo "with (de-)registration of components and e
xtensions" >&2
echo "Thus this package will fail to install"
>&2
echo "You should close all running instances of
OpenOffice.org (including" >&2
echo "any currently running Quickstarter)
before proceeding with the package" >&2
echo "upgrade." >&2
exit 1
else
db_input high shared/openofficeorg-running ||
true
db_go || true
# try again in case OOo got closed before
hitting OK
PID=`pgrep soffice.bin | head -n 1`
if [ -n "$PID" ] || [ -e "$LOCKFILE" ]; then
exit 1

}
If OOo can't be safely upgraded while running, aborting the upgrade
doesn't seem like the ideal way to handle this. Alternatives:
- Just go ahead, and warn the user that they need to take action (as Firefox
does)
- Keep checking until the user has closed the application
- Work around whatever breakage happens if it's upgraded in place
