trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/soffice', which is also in package openoffice-debian-menus 4.0-9702

python-uno depends of libreoffice-core and libreoffice-core deppends of libreoffice-common, but libreoffice-common is not being installed due openoffice-debian-menus owning the /usr/bin/soffice binary. Is a dependency correlation problem due installing and mixing packages, where python-uno won't install while openoffice-debian-menus is installed. So, method to solve this:

sudo apt-get --fix-broken purge openoffice-debian-menus
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install

This will delete the annoying openoffice-debian-menus package, that will allow you to install libreoffice's and sane your system.

If you have installed the packages by manually downloading and installing them, you will get conflicts like this. Why? Because APT can only "see" the packages in repositories. You have decided to install only a certain set of packages earlier on and now that you need another, it will only see the one in the Ubuntu main repositories.

To fix this and to install LibreOffice in a way that you will receive updates, I suggest you to install the LibreOffice 4.1 PPA.

  1. Run

    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-1

    to install the 4.1 repository.

  2. Then, run

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

    to get fully up to date.

  3. You should now be able to install the latest python-uno compatible with 4.1.

  • I had error before doing that update above – giaosudau Aug 22 '13 at 06:16
  • @sepdau Ah man, you've installed more packages from other sites that cause conflicts... Here's openoffice-debian-menus to blame. Do you really need OpenOffice as well? – gertvdijk Aug 22 '13 at 06:18
  • I install openoffice after remove libreoffice then I install libreoffice again then I can't not remove Package You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libreoffice-core : Depends: libreoffice-common (> 1:4.1.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). – giaosudau Aug 22 '13 at 06:22
  • @sepdau Well, in order to be able to tell you how to uninstall OpenOffice you'll have to tell how you've installed it in the first place. Please include that in your question. Also, what does sudo apt-get install -f do? – gertvdijk Aug 22 '13 at 06:38
  • I've update above. – giaosudau Aug 22 '13 at 06:39
