No, an update from 1.0.3 package

No, I reported this here, as it SEEMED to be similar to the problem
encountered in earlier upgrades. I should be clear, we are using OOo in a
Thin Client Server, and the debian packages do not clear the older
~/openoffice/<version> and when we cleared the older version, and reran setup
the problem went away. As well, the OOo setup program works on a per user
basis, so each time an upgrade requires setup be run, there is no way to
handle this for 50+ users seamlessly, and we end up waiting for the yells and
screams that OOo stopped working on each upgrade.

The problem did evidence itself because of the upgrade, but after clearing out
the older user OOo directories, the problem stopped. In this version (1.0.3)
we didn't get the same luck. Since saving to Excel97 and Word 97 is so
crucial to using the application, that if it doesn't work, 1.0.3 release is a
step backwards from 1.0.2

Will try to find a instance of this that we haven't fixed, so I can look at
the configurations.
