Re: [libreoffice-users] install on debian wheezy

As an aside on this thread, I only observe that, if this is what it takes to 
install a newer version of LO on Linux, it may be some time before Linux can 
be taken seriously as an alternative to Windows.

Just sayin'

I think that is the reason. You have invoked dpkg for each package in
archive separately, and it complains about missing dependencies.
If you invoke it for all packages at once, it will figure out
dependencies itself.

This is how I install packages from TDF website; all steps as root:

# cp <downloaded.tar.gz> /tmp/
# cd /tmp/
# unp <downloaded.tar.gz>
# cd <LO directory>/DEBS/
# rm *-debian-menus* # this package, available since 4.1, adds
   menu items that will execute LO; and I don't want my menus cluttered
# dpkg -i *
# (ls -1 |while read line; do awk -F '_' '{print $1}' ; done)> 
~/lo-x.x-website


Last command will prepare file with package names on my /root/ dir
so I can do this to uninstall TDF version:
# aptitude purge $(cat /root/lo-x.x-website )

I have 4.0.6 installed this way and it works; I used to have 4.1.1 as well,
but removed that one when I upgraded to 4.1.2 from Debian repo (which
I prefer due to KDE4 integration package).
