Title:
  System crashes while installing openoffice.org mailmerge

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  First of all, this does not only happen on my computer. I set up a
  Ubuntu Studio 9.04 system for testing in a virtual machine before
  installing on a friend's computer. Both of us encounter the same
  problem on both computers. My computer carries the newest updates
  while he uses the 9.04 standard edition.

  We tried installing OpenOffice.org 3.0 using the standard package
  manager. It always stops at the following line:

    Adding extension
  /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.0/program/mailmerge.py...

  This takes the whole system down, and we have to do a hard reboot.
  After restarting we cannot install any upgrades or new packages before
  continuing the old installation. If we run, as proposed by the
  updater:

    dpkg --configure -a

  the openoffice.org-emailmerge installation is continued but, again,
  hangs and takes the system down at exactly the same line.

  Please tell me which further information you need to resolve this
  issue.
