I try to maintain the openoffice ebuilds (help is welcome). They are extremely 
complex so cut me some slack. I've also been away on holidays so I could not 
have possibly fixed anything. Could you fill me in what happens here, are you 
trying to remerge openoffice of the same openoffice version. In that case 
there could be a problem if the files have similar change dates. Also did you 
merge with buildpkg or not? If so, please check whether the files are 
included in the tbz2 package (just tar tfj <thefile>).
