Public bug reported:

after trying to upgrade to libreoffice 3.5 I got an error message that
said "cannot delete directory /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4 as it is not
empty", and I could not get the install to proceed.

To fix this issue I had to manually remove all of the files in basis3.4
as well as the basis3.4 folder. Then I had to do a "mkdir basis3.4" and
a "mkdir basis3.4/program" to get the update to install successfully.
