Any suggestions on this? I still have the same issue, and even a full-system recompile didn't help. Revdep-rebuild shows no issues, either.
After another round of Google-ing, I found that deleting all files in /usr/lib/openoffice/share/uno_packages/cache/ (and possibly ~.ooo3/.ooo3.bak/user/uno_packages/cache/), the problem goes away. I'm not really sure why. The cache directory I mentioned is owned by openoffice, but the contents are not (according to equery belongs). I don't see a workaround resolution, so I'm marking it worksforme.
