Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)

Installing Koffice resulted to the following message:

< export DEBIAN_FRONTEND; apt-get install --yes 'koffice' ;echo RESULT=$?
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:
  koffice: Depends: kformula but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: kword but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
RESULT=100

In case you handle this "Bug ?"; Thank you in advance.

This appears to be a debian (?) packaging bug - please report it to them, because KDE doesn't do binary support (some hosting, but no packaging). We only do source releases.

This is not a valid KOffice bug, although I agree it is a problem for you / your distro.

Well, the packages are correct and there are people using them (including me), so there must be something else wrong, feel free to mail your problem (with a bit more details if possible) to the debian-kde@lists.debian.org mailing list :) and you will get help.

Best regards
