OK, did remove my hack and checked again:

thomas at AMD64:~$ dpkg -l |grep lib32z1
ii  lib32z1                                         1.2.3-3ubuntu4 
     compression library - 32 bit runtime

-> showed me that the 32bit lib is installed.

thomas at AMD64:~$ dpkg -L lib32z1
/.
/usr
/usr/lib32
/usr/lib32/libz.so.1.2.3
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/lib32z1
/usr/share/doc/lib32z1/copyright
/usr/share/doc/lib32z1/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/lib32/libz.so.1

-> showed me where it should be installed

And  I checked for libz.so.1.2.3 in /usr/lib32/, but there was not such 
a file. Reinstalled lib32z1, After that "sudo ldconfig" and OO was 
working again.

Maybe this info helps somebody, too.

Regards, Thomas
