Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice on LinuxMint Debian Edition...

Hi :)

I thought Mint was built to be able to use Ubuntu repositories?  There is an 
issue now it has been re-based onto Debian but it would be good if someone could 
experiment with this, perhaps on a virtual machine or on a spare partition with 
Mint freshly installed to it.

Perhaps ask in the regular Debian forums or at
http://www.linuxquestions.org

Is anyone able to do this?
Regards from
Tom :)

Thank you Fabian and all the other helpful people on the list.  I did as
suggested and installed the packages in the correct order and everything is
working, other than that the Spellchecker does not work.

In Tools>Language>Select>Text -  English (NZ) is checked but when I type a
word incorrectly, e.g. color instead of colour, the word is not highlighted
as mispelt. Even a series of characters typed at random are not highlighted
as incorrect.

The only languages shown are English (NZ) and English (USA) even though
English (GB) is shown as installed in Synaptic.

Any advice how I can get the spell checker working, please?  It is probably
something I have done incorrectly but I cannot think waht :-(
