Folks,

This bug is not about kernel issues, and it's been fixed in hardy.
Please try to upgrade to the most recent version of the affected
packages; there should be no need to follow up to this bug report unless
you are still having problems upgrading the named package.

Sorin, you are mistaken about this not being an OpenOffice.org bug.  It
is; the packaging system's behavior when two packages have conflicting
files is not spurious, it is a carefully considered design decision
which is crucial to the reliability of the running system.  File
overlaps unfortunately do happen from time to time in development
releases, but these are always bugs in the packages in question that
need to be resolved before we release - and we have a report that helps
us identify file conflicts so we can do exactly that.  Silently
overwriting files is not a sound practice, because the files are almost
always not the same, so overwriting them would make for even worse bugs.
