View Full Version : [ubuntu] Installation of OpenOffice on Natty

I have done a fresh installation of Natty and as expected it installed LibreOffice.

What I would like is to install OpenOffice but it doesn't seem to be in the repositories. I know LibreOffice is a complete replacement for OpenOffice. However, the LibreOffice Base component is buggy (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/709778). Hence I cannot use it at the moment.

I did think about downloading the debs from the OpenOffice website, but the OpenOffice Base component doesn't seem to be included in the packages (?)

What I would like is to have OpenOffice and LibreOffice installed side by side. Any help would be appreciated.
