Please backport OpenOffice 2.0.3 to Dapper

Count my vote too

Me too.

and it opens spreadsheets far quicker too !

I wait for it , for bugs fix

+1

and it also adds further improvements to file format compatibility with Microsoft Office files

Please backport it as soon as possible.

It's still 2.0.2 in edgy, we'll have to wait for that to upgrade at least.

I agree. Please update. OpenOffice is an application I like to stay up to date on, especially since I work in a VERY mixed environment.

Joining myself to this bug as my original request (#48963) was rejected as I was far too quick off the mark!

2.0.3 is now in Edgy.

there is only source and no binary debs yet!

Since it includes security fixes, it should really go as security update instead of backport.

Check bug #51435

+1

+5 (my friends as well). not to get off topic, but can I vote for a bug rather than need to comment saying +5?

Please backport

Will evaluate buildability and such, as package is in Edgy.

Note that the security vulnerabilities have been fixed already in dapper-security.

Added a new bug #54228 now that Edgy finally has 2.0.3 packages.
Please add your support to this new issue:
https://launchpad.net/products/dapper-backports/+bug/54228

2.0.3 is in Dapper Proposed - https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+source/openoffice.org

This is not a security issue, as the security fix was backported to 2.0.2 - openoffice.org (2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1) dapper-security; urgency=low

  * Add patch to fix a potential buffer overflow in the xml to utf-8
    converter. CVE-2006-3117.
  * Add patch from upstream to fix macro handling security bug; it was
    possible to embed macros in documents without OOo seeing them and
    executing them without any user interaction. CVE-2006-2198.
  * Add patch from upstream to disable Java applets feature because it's
    possible to write Java applets breaking out of the sandbox.
    CVE-2006-2199.

Plzzzzzzzzzzzz add it for dapper also. there are bugs in 2.0.2. i can not see vivible buttons of "Right to Left" and "Left to Right" in writer. it may be fixed in 2.0.3 or i m thinking to migrate to koffice.

I attempted to install OpenOffice 2.0.3 in Ubuntu Dapper from Dapper Proposed. Package openoffice.org-gtk would not install because of a failed dependency on libpango-1.0.0 being >=1.12.3 while it is 1.12.2 in dapper. I could not get it to install OOo 2.0.3 and I did not want to risk trying to install 1.12.3 from Debian Testing so I reverted to OOo 2.0.2. I gather the Kubuntu installation works OK as it is not dependant on the GTK libries and does not install the openoffice.org-gtk package.
