openoffice does not install correctly unmet dependencies libcurl3-gnutls and libcurl4-gnutls

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

OpenOffice stopped working the other day.
So went to
http://download.openoffice.org/680/
and downloaded my own debs, created a repository, and added it to apt-get.
Then tried to install openoffice in various ways, the last through the Add/Remove Applications menu.

Nothing happens. The files are installed, according to synaptic, but do not run.

My terminal output follows.
