Is there another Office suite? I tried "pkg search office" and didn't find anything that I would recognize like OpenOffice, etc.

The problem is rather, it doesn’t build anymore - at least I wasn't able to rebuild it of 2022Q3. The problem is, it links with devel/boost-libs - and that one was recently updated to require compilation with c++11. Openoffice, however, compiles with gcc++98.
There is a bundled older version of boost-libs, but that didn't compile for other reasons.
 
Yesterday, I was trying to install Libreoffice. However today, "pkg install libreoffice" and it is working. Not sure what happened there.
