There are 29 additional packages that need to be installed. There in a conflict with a few of those packages in that they are looking for an older version than the one already installed. You cannot downgrade your installed packages that conflict without a lot of drama...a lot of drama. The good news if the fork of OpenOffice, LibreOffice, is installable (and better). Code: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-0 Code: sudo apt-get update Code: sudo apt-get install libreoffice ...or use the Package Manager after you have added the ppa to your list of repositories. |

Thanks! It's done. But why did they kill Open? Briefly it is similar, but when i search an answer in internet, i found many blames to libre. I think this question is of similar field as conversed in one of our topics about "new one is not always the better one" |

Yes, the new one is not always the better one. The reason for the fork appears to be for 3 reason of the things I don't fully understand; politics, money, and egos. Many of the OO developers jumped ship when Oracle bought it (another thing I don't understand). They split to form LibreOffice. I think any squawk about LibreOffice is coming from the developer's (in general) end and not necessarily from the end user. For me; it works; it's pretty. I'm happy. |
