[Bug 848492] [NEW] I cannot install libreoffice

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Steps to reproduce:

1) Start synaptic
2) Type libreoffice in the search box.
3) right-click on libreoffice and select the install option
4) click the Mark button on the "Mark additional required changes" dialog.
5) you receive the following error:

The following packages have unresovable dependencies.

libreoffice:
 Depends: libreoffice-core but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libreoffice-writer but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libreoffice-calc but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libreoffice-impress but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libreoffice-draw but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libreoffice-math but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libreoffice-base but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libreoffice-report-builder-bin but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libreoffice-filter-mobiledev but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libreoffice-java-common but it is not going to be installed

I had previously installed the ppa:libreoffice/ppa PPA using the
commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name
sudo apt-get update

They ran with no errors.

I then tried to install libreoffice using apt-get:

tim@Timbuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libreoffice
