openoffice crashes under debian sarge.

This problem is due to
libfreetype6
Do the following to fix it.

1. First find any debian mirror http://www.debian.org/mirror/list
goto /pool/main/f/freetype/ and download libfreetype6_2.1.7-2.4_.deb
and libfreetype6-dev_2.1.7-2.4_.deb

2. Eventually download the dev package as well as root use
dpkg -i
to downgrade the packages
3. Finally, I used aptitude to mark the packages as 'hold' to prevent them from
updates until some coming package of either freetype6 or oo will be flawless.
