What do you mean "and gnome additions"?  I run Ubuntu 10.10, but via the 
LibreOffice.org download page and there was no "gnome" option.

Also, as far as I know, there is no GB dictionary, unless it it added 
via the GB language packs.

I do not use PPS installs, since it was originally a "private" install 
made by someone other than the original software creators.  I do not 
know who created the PPA so I do not use it.

Do you know how to install LibreOffice via the Terminal.  There are 
instructions is not.  If you are having troubles with the PPA, and can 
do the Terminal install, that would be my option.  I would dump the PPA 
version and reinstall LibreOffice from the LibreOffice web site.

I would also go to my Demo DVD site so you can see the entire list of 
dictionaries, that I could find, for OOo and LibreOffice.

After the list of "common" extensions, there is a short and a long 
dictionary list.  The long one is all the ones that I have found for 
LibreOffice.

This is the install page for the Demo DVD.
