It's definitely arch's openoffice issue. I've tested version from openoffice.org and everything runs smoothly. No errors.

Same problem here with 64 bit and with open office 2.4.0-2.

I noticed after I upgraded to 2.4.0-2 and hunspell 1.2.2-2 (along with the already installed openoffice-spell-en package) spell check is at least functional for me again (64bit). Still the same error with the Wizard though.

Same problem here trying to install dictionaries through the wizard and installing Dmaths 3.1. Running a fresh installation of Arch i686.

André
