Re: [libreoffice-users] Error trying to install LibreOffice 4.0.2.2 on ubuntu 12.10

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
