I have trouble install packages with apt-get. I get the following error:

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libreoffice-common_1%3a4.2.6.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
For every package I'm trying to install.
I've tried following the discussions in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1889732 error installing libreoffice 4-0
but had no success.
can anyone help?
ok thanks. I solved by running:
sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice-core libreoffice-common python3-uno libreoffice-*
for some reason removing each package separately has failed but in the same command - it worked
