By default, debian Lenny include OpenOffice 2.6.4 and this is a little bit old since the new OpenOffice 3.1 was released. But, we can easily install or update the OpenOffice 2.64 into current OpenOffice 3.1.0 by activating or using Debian Lenny Backports. To get started, please follow the tutorial below:

1. Add the backports repositories
To add the Lenny backports repositories, simply edit as root your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following line:

 deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free

Then close and make sure you save the file.

2. Install the Debian backports keyring

Open terminal and execute this command as root:

apt-get install debian-backports-keyring

3. Update your repositories

apt-get update

And install OpenOffice.org:

apt-get -t lenny-backports install openoffice.org

4. Now enjoy the new version of OpenOffice 3.1.0 on your Debian Lenny
