[Bug 848492] Re: I cannot install libreoffice

 

libreoffice 3.4.3 now installs cleanly, and successfully opens the 6
sample MS documents in /usr/share/checkbox/data/documents/.

Björn , could you comment on what caused the ~24hr delay in uploading
libreoffice-common?  I ask in the spirit of research & learning -- teach
me to fish, show me the discovery trail to the web page where the build
status was red or whatever.  (-> email)  thanks!

Title:
  I cannot install libreoffice

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Invalid
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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-report-builder-bin 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
