Cannot install LibreOffice on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid

[ercherramon]

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:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/ppa

sudo aptitude update

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.

There are two official PPAs for LibreOffice.

For test builds and backports:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa

For a more stable experience:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-3-5

Both should work on Lucid:

thanks for pointing out the case of the repositories, but I would also say that the repository I mentioned above is also official and has nothing unusual as it was also done by the same officers up libreoffice packages. the matter is that unfortunately libreoffice has not updated great packages for Ubuntu Lucid and therefore gives errors with the upgrade package libreoffice-core

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.

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.

For a more stable experience:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-3-5

I can confirm, this works perfectly for Ubuntu 10.04.4.

So,

sudo apt-get purge openoffice*

... removed Openoffice
I added this repo line in Terminal, then:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice

This installed a fully functional Libreoffice.

THANK YOU!
