Hi Hugh,

I am not a Ubuntu user but I can share an experience with Fedora. I remember running into a similar problem but I can't remember exactly what. After "cd desktop-integration" have a look at the contents of the folder, eg. I see:

   [tim@petunia ~]$ ls
   LibreOffice_4.0.2.2_Linux_x86_rpm/RPMS/desktop-integration/
   libreoffice4.0-freedesktop-menus-4.0.2-2.noarch.rpm
   libreoffice4.0-mandriva-menus-4.0.2-2.noarch.rpm
   libreoffice4.0-suse-menus-4.0.2-2.noarch.rpm

In my case there is no Fedora specific installer so I chose the freedesktop-menus RPM. Maybe if you try to "sudo dpkg" only the .deb file for Ubuntu (or freedesktop) it might do the trick. I think you are trying to install versions for other distros as well as yours.

Cheers

When trying to install LibreOffice 4.0.2.2 on ubuntu 12.10 using the readme directions that follow:

"sudo dpkg -i *.deb

The above DEBSdpkg command does the first part of the installation process. To complete the process, you also need to install the desktop integration packages. To do this, change directory to the "desktop-integration" directory that is within the "DEBS" directory, using the following command:

cd desktop-integration

Now run the dpkg command again:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

The installation process is now completed, and you should have icons for all the LibreOffice applications in your desktop's Applications/Office menu."

I get the following error message after successfully installing the first part according to the readme txt, and trying to install the desktop integration packages:
