Thanks for the offer, but I already have OO installed.  I installed it
previous to the recent update by maho in cvs just 8 hours ago.
portupgrade is what brought the issue to my attention.  The version I
have installed is working without problems.

It is a shame that people update ports to fix issues with -CURRENT and
break functionality for everyone else that tracks the stable builds.
