Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

When I try to save a document in Star Writer 5.0 .sdw format, I got an error
"Error saving the document".

When I try to open .sdw Star Office document in OpenOffice.org, first the OOo
shows a dialogue as if it didn't know, how should he treat the file. It offers
me to choose the file format.
I choose Star Writer 5.0, however OOo displays "General I/O error" and dosen't
open the document.

The bugs have been reported for OpenOffice.org (80451, 80452) however seem to be related just to Debian and Ubuntu.

Did you install openoffice.org-filter-binfilter before trying to open the StarWriter documents?
