after update from 3.2 tp 3.3rc10 office does not start

On my Kubuntu (de_DE) I updated OOo3.2 to 3.3RC10 (both de_DE). I call the update srcipt which comes with the tgz. All runs without any problem but OOo does not start: opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice: 92: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/program/pagein: not found /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libuno_sal.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory As you can see the basis-link, which points to ../openoffice.org/basis3.3 is not found. And indeet, /opt/openoffice/basis3.3 is not available, but basis3.2 is still there.
@is: We should remove this update script. @ cn: An additional pkgadd -i for the OOo 3.3 debs will solve the problem.
The update script is designed in that way, that it searches for installed packages and installs (updates) only exactly those packages. Furthermore it can be started with user privileges, so that it asks for an admin password and elevates the process. This update fails of course, if the package names changed between two versions. An OOo 3.2 cannot be updated to an OOo 3.3 with this script. I think about the following workarounds: 1. Remove the script from the installation sets. You can use OpenOffice.org with JRE. This product contains a Java GUI Installer that takes care of this update process. 2. Change the script in that way, that all available packages of an installation set will be installed. Then it would be more an "install" as an "update", because it could also be used for the first installation. Old packages like "ooobasis3.2-xxx" would not be removed from an installation of "ooobasis3.3-xxx". cn, of: Do you have preferences?
This script has to be maintained every OOo update. I'm fine with removing the script. There are native ways to install the packages.
I'm fine with removing.
Fixed in cws native364 by removing update script.
