Title:
  Libreoffice 3.4 failed to upgrade to 3.5 because the pre-inst script
  was unable to remove /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4 folder

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu precise (development branch)
  Release:	12.04

  libreoffice-base-core:
    Installed: 1:3.5.0~beta2-2ubuntu2
    Candidate: 1:3.5.0~beta2-2ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.5.0~beta2-2ubuntu2 0
          500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Expected Outcome: Libreoffice 3.4 should upgraded cleanly to
  Libreoffice 3.5 using apt-get dist-upgrade.

  Actual Outcome: Libreoffice 3.4 failed to upgrade to Libreoffice 3.5 because the pre-inst script was unable to remove /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4 folder.
  This is because the basis3.4 folder was not empty. It had one folder called program and a hidden file. By manually removing the contents of the basis3.4 folder and running apt-get dist-upgrade again, the upgrade process proceeded to completion.
  Note: I only removed the contents of the basis3.4 folder, not the folder itself. Otherwise, the dpkg upgrade process got stuck again and complained that /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4 did not exist, so cannot removed.
