Work for me?
They don' t seem to exist!
apt-cache search libreoffice shows me nothing.


Well, since I gave you a link to the package content from the official
debian repository (and I have them installed), I'll assume they DO exist.

I never saw any such link.
I just went back and looked at your previous messages on this thread,
and I don't find it.
Neither apt-cache search libreoffice, nor synaptic show any such files.
Aptitude (my preference) doesn't show them either.
I have all the us debian repos enabled, plus non-free, experimental,
the 3rd party dmm
repo, and lenny-backports.
None of them are offering me libreoffice.

Maybe you forgot to add them to your system, like explained in the link you
found : http://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental or maybe you're using a
mirror that doesn't contain the experimental branch or is not up to date.
Also, although the unofficial .deb from the LibreOffice websites do install
in /opt, I'd recommend you using the packages from Debian, although in
experimental, because:
 - they put the files in more "common" places
 - they are more likely to be maintained this way, as there is a LibreOffice
maintainer for Debian.

I'd love to try that, but I'm not finding these files offered.



Also, you should stop stressing that ubuntu isn't debian. I think most
people on the list know this, but regarding installation methods and general
file locations (libraries, binaries, etc), they are very similar.

All gnu/linux systems have a great deal of similarities on many levels, sure.
Ubuntu and debian both use dpkg, apt, for package management,
and the file system is similarly arranged.  I concur.
They do not, however, use the same repositories, and packages that appear in an
ubuntu repo are frequently very different from what is in the
Debian/Stable (Ienny) repositories.
A lot of what ships in ubuntu can only be found in sarge or testing,
and, even then,
the packages are not the same (although, yes, when I can't find a
debian specific file,
I have installed "ubuntu" debs for some stuff).
I'm using stable (although I do have backports enabled, which, as I
understand it,
allows me to pull some stuff from testing/squeeze).
For instance, to my knowledge, Karmic has OOo 3.0 or something.
Debian/stable (lenny) still has OOo 2.4.  Big difference.
That is why I point out that I'm using Debian, not Ubuntu; because
they ARE different.

be well,
tony

Oh wait.
I did find the link you mention.
Also, for some reason, aptitude and apt are not getting a file list
from the experimental repo (and a couple others).
(getting this:
W: GPG error: http://debian.dc-uoit.net stable Release: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not
available: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907
W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release
Unable to find expected entry  experimental/binary-amd64/Packages in
Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
and seeing Ign: in front of several repositories when updating).
Server down?
Likely if I can get that resolved (or wait for the server to be back up?)
then I can solve this problem as you mention, with the debian
experimental files.
