Confirmed:

$ pkginfo |grep openofficeorg-ure
application openofficeorg-ure                UNO Runtime Environment

*sigh*
Not uncommon for so-called unbundled products, I'd say. People doing
those have less experience in patches.

It still displays them:

139337 -- < 01 -S-   1 StarOffice 9 (Solaris_x86): Update 1
139338 -- < 01 -S-   1 StarSuite 9 (Solaris_x86): Update 1

$ ./pca-dev --version
pca 20090206-01

Any other info you'd need?
