Details

Description: After installing openoffice-base and adding the menu entries to fluxbox, I got an error stating that I did not have access rights to ~/.openoffice.org2. The reason for this is that the ~/.openoffice.org2 directory owner is root. I then ran [chown -R %user% /home/%user%/.openoffice.org2]. After changing the ownership openoffice was able to run.


Additional info:
Fresh install from 2008.06 Core ISO
openoffice-base 2.4.1-2

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -Sy openoffice-base

As user:
/opt/openoffice/program/swriter
Error would appear here

This task depends upon

there's nothing in post.install starting soffice as user root or sudo. no idea how you got that folder. a simple pacman -S openoffice-base shouldn't create anything in any users home directory.
