[Bug 915271] Re: package libreoffice-core 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: rmdir: failed to remove `usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program/': Directory not empty

 

At the risk of sounding stupid but if the installer was trying to remove
the directory altogether why do you want to recreate it.

Woud something like this work better
$sudo -s
# rm -r /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program/
# mkdir /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program/
# apt-get -f install
