Description Ernst de Haan 2006-01-03 04:41:23 UTC

I would appreciate if I could install openoffice and openoffice-bin at the same time. This allows me to test the difference and analyze/report whether some bugs are specific for the source-based build or not.

Sorry, not possible due to conflicting files.

Isn't it possible to do some kind of slotting-sortof magic? Which are the conflicts? Is this documented somewhere?

Perhaps it's worth diving into this just a little bit deeper...
