Re: Cannot install LibreOffice on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
hello. I also I have ubuntu lucid. and also had the same problem. the problem itself is with repositories of libreoffice only packages are available for versions 11.10, 12.04 and 12.10. you just need to remove the repository of libreoffice and add this new repository if it works:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/ppa
Code:
sudo aptitude update
Code:
sudo apt-get install libreoffice libreoffice-gnome
This repository will install version 3.5.7.2. but at least this version works great.
NOTE: These are official repositories. packages are made by the same who run the repository libreoffice: Rico Tzschichholz. Just in case you can check the repository Launchpad page you suggest and official page LibreOffice repository.

Re: Cannot install LibreOffice on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
There are two official PPAs for LibreOffice.
For test builds and backports:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
For a more stable experience:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-3-5
Both should work on Lucid:

Thank you very much! Definitely this works. I was getting crazy all the time trying to install OOo and/or LibreOffice from the other repositories. With your help now it works great.
Re: Cannot install LibreOffice on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
Or instead of messing up with repositories, better use the official .debs provided on their websites, they allow to install and run AOO and LibO in parallel.
See [Ubuntu] Installing OOo on Debian and Co.

I can confirm, this works perfectly for Ubuntu 10.04.4.
So,
Code:
sudo apt-get purge openoffice*
... removed Openoffice
I added this repo line in Terminal, then:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice
This installed a fully functional Libreoffice.
THANK YOU!
