Openoffice fails to install

Hi.
I used to have Openoffice 1.1.4 from the repositories and I uninstalled before the late update.
I did pacman -S openoffice-base openoffice-en
and it posted an error about openoffice-en.

I did pacman -Sy
and pacman -Ss openoffice and the package openoffice-en dosen't exist

Is it gone? Can I install Openoffice still?

Re: Openoffice fails to install

Try reinstalling:
pacman -S openoffice-base openoffice-en
If you still get the error message, post it.

Re: Openoffice fails to install

Are you sure the package name didn't change to 'openoffice-spell-en'?

    OpenOffice english language files

extra/openoffice-base 1.1.4-4
    OpenOffice base files

Re: Openoffice fails to install

Thank you for your replies.
I don't use [testing]
I use [current] [extra] [community] repositories

Here what I get:

[root@myhost giorgos]# pacman -S openoffice-base openoffice-en
openoffice-en: not found in sync db

Yes that seems to be the problem.
The language packas eg openoffice-en have dissapeared from the repositories.
Please someone put them back so we can reinstall Openoffice.

Thank you.

You sould submit a bug report (button on upper right of the forums).  Devs don't regularly read the forums.
