If you have the version that came with Ubuntu 6.10, you need to
uninstall it first. Here is what Hagar de *'Est wrote in an article,
"[Ubumtu] Installing OOo on Debian and Co." You will find it on the
www.8daysaweek.co.uk web site. Once you have removed any previous version
of OOo, skip to step #5. Use a terminal to do this, and make sure you are
in the directory which contains all of the debs.
Always a good idea: sorry I forgot to mention this.

As OOo is released with RPMs (Ubuntu uses deb format, same as Debian), you
cannot install OOo directly but you need to convert the files to .deb
format.

Where have you been, Dan? OOo V2.3 is released in a deb package as well as rpm
- for which many grateful thanks to the packagers - and installs exactly as I
described.
