[PLUG] apt interdependencies

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

 I downloaded OOo 2.1 from the OOo website and converted the RPMs to DEBs with 
alien.  The DEBs install in /opt and seems to run fine.  I have no use for 
the OOo 2.0.2 that comes with Kubuntu Dapper.  I tried to remove it with 
'apt-get remove openoffice-*'

OOo 2.1 seems safe from the removal, but other non-openoffice packages were in 
line for removal

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  aspell aspell-en dictionaries-common gnome-spell kubuntu-desktop
  mozilla-thunderbird myspell-en-gb myspell-en-us 

Am I going to get into some kind of endless loop if I allow apt to remove 
them, and then try to reinstall them afterwords?  Will they claim the 
openoffice files as dependencies?

Should I leave well enough alone?  This isn't just 549 MB, but the old version 
is currently the default handler for the relevant file types.
