Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3.6.1 dictionary installs (.deb) fail & bork dpkg/apt-get

Using LO 3.5.6 on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit, I did not have any problems 
installing 3.5.6 over 3.5.5.  I did not get any dictionary issues for 
the default 64-bit DEB installs.

I am using:
     LibreOffice 3.5.6.2
     Build ID: e0fbe70-5879838-a0745b0-0cd1158-638b327

This was copied from the "Help" splash.

I use "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" for my install method.

I have not switched to 3.5.6, yet, on my 12.04/MATE system. That is my 
dual booting laptop and rarely use it for LO work.

There have been some people who have issues with the default 
dictionaries.  Some have not worked, and now you have install issues.  
It seems that there are just some systems that are just not having an 
easy time installing LO.

As for the NA-DVD dictionaries, well there are about 20 localized 
Spanish dictionaries there, so you can choose which country's version 
you need.  The American English version is over 773,000 words in size, 
plus thesaurus.

I was wondering what would happen is I did not install any dictionaries 
during the installation [DEB and Windows], and then install the version 
of English, Spanish, and French ones I prefer.  By the way, there are 
several French dictionaries to choose from.
