Getting openoffice 2.X to install on Debian stable



Hey!

Im having som e difficulties to install openoffice 2.X on Debian/stable.

Everything should be updated as its supposed to  (apt-get update, apt-get upgrade).

After adding "deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main" to my sources.lst and running apt.get update i tried the following

----------------------------
$apt-get -t sarge-backports install openoffice.org 
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  openoffice.org: Depends: openoffice.org-base but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
----------------------------------------

Then this:
----------------------------
$apt-get -t sarge-backports install openoffice.org-base

                                java2-runtime but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
----------------------------

I cant come up with a solution so i turn to you.

I welcome any suggestion!

Sincerly Allan
