[pca] StarOffice 9 patches might need special handling

[Don O'Malley]

Hi,

These patches were created, based on the assumption that a customer 
would not have both StarOffice & StarSuite products installed on the 
same box, at the same time.
(StarOffice and StarSuite can be installed on the same box, in theory, 
but it is highly unlikely.)
Both products share a lot of common pkgs and the only difference between 
the products is that the language specific packages for StarSuite are 
different from the language specific packages for StarOffice.

Similarly, both patches patch packages common to both products.
The difference is, that the language specific packages for the StarSuite 
patch are different from the language specific packages for the 
StarOffice patch.

This issue was discovered late in the testing of these patches and was 
not deemed to be a stopper issue (as these patches needed to meet a 
specific release schedule).
There are notes in the patch README to indicate which patch is intended 
for which product.

This issue should be resolved in the next revision of these patches.

While this is not an ideal situation wrt patch tools, like pca, it is 
however harmless and nothing untoward will happen by applying the 
StarSuite patch to StarOffice, or vice versa.

Best,
-Don
