Hi :) No need to "beat yourself up over it". Your initial post made enough sense that people were able to run with it. Effectively it was little more than a typo and under a stress that none of us enjoy but a few have had to endure = so i think we can appreciate it being such a tiny and understandable inaccuracy. So, both your posts are very much appreciated - as always. Many regards from Tom :) On 11 October 2015 at 16:48, Andreas Säger <villeroy@t-online.de> wrote:

This _may_ fail if there is some other suite installed. 1) Do nothing and run sudo dpkg -i *.deb if there is no other suite owning /usr/bin/soffice 2) Move the desktop-integration.deb to the trash bin if you don't want the desktop integration for this office suite. 3) If you want desktop integration for the newly installed suite AND there is an /usr/bin/soffice file from another suite, then you should indeed make a subdirectory and move that particular deb file before running sudo dpkg -i *.deb in the DEBS directory without additional switch. This should run without error. And then run sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite *.deb in that subdirectory in order to make this office suite the primary one overwriting any /usr/bin/soffice. The overwrite switch applies only to this particular package with this particular problem when there is another suite owning /usr/bin/soffice. The desktop-integration*.deb should reside in a separate subdirectory but the LO guys always know better. Simply applying the overwrite switch to all the *.deb packages may resolve unforeseen dependencies by overwriting essential files of alternative office suites which would damage these installations.
