In the tab “Versions”: I downgraded all V-files to “x.x.x.x-x.x delivered from repo-oss” to the same version delivered by “x.x.x.x-x.x from OPENSUSE_11.1”.
After downgrading I did again:
Package-> All Packages-> Update if newer version is available
At this moment my installed packages are:

The missing VCL files might be also caused by the missing compat symlinks between /usr/lib/ooo3 and /usr/share/ooo3. They are created in post install scripts of the noarch packages. It is a bit error-prone solution but it should work well if the dependencies are correct. I hope that they are correct now. I hope that we will get rid of the compat symlinks in the future.
Is the version in the repo’s corrected? I’m on version 3.0.1.2-3.2-i586, I still am getting the missing VCL when I go to fire up a spreadsheet. Sorry for the confusion on my part.
I deleted it, re-installed it. I also check to make sure the localization package (en-us) for me was installed. I still have the issue. I am on Suse 11.1, KDE3. I put on the KDE extensions, and I also put on the English dictionary. Nothing helps.
There’s enough people that have this problem, there must be some commonality someplace. I have the problem on two machines, but while the installations of the software were totally independent, I tend to have the same set of software on both, and everything is installed through YAST.

I just noticed in reading throught the thread that the only one that didn’t have the problem was the poster from the UK. The poster who said he did the reinstall and had it work, you didnt mention which localization package you were using. All other failures seem to have the en-us package.

I ran into this on every box here that I updated to the 3.0.1.2-3.2 version.
The solution for me was to delete EVERYTHING that referred to openoffice -
everything. Then re-install using Yast Software Management to select ONLY
the 3.0.1.2-3.2 versions - nothing else. You may want to go back and
install a couple of things later like the thesaurus but get the essentials
done first. The launcher on the desktop didn’t work on a couple of boxes
but you can replace that with the menu option. Big thing is to get the old
version gone completely.
Thanks. I deleted everything. Just deleting OpenOffice.org package and what it takes with it wasn’t enough. There’s a ton of other stuff. There’s also an new version out, and bottom line, I’m current and it works .
