AG,
I used Nikola's Deb archive (adding it to my sources.list).
Scott, what's the line for that?
1. Adding the repository:
sudo echo “debhttp://download.tuxfamily.org/gericom/libreoffice
/#geri...@hummer” | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Adding the signing key:
wget debhttp://download.tuxfamily.org/gericom/gericom.asc -q -O- |
sudo apt-key add -
In TDF archive is the message thread of observations about the deb
repository and setting it up.
See the thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00497.html
"[TDF discuss] LO deb repo" for more details.
I found that I had to uninstall beta1 to get things to work.
Once I squared away beta1/beta2 issues things went swimmingly.
Install from the cmd line for apt I had to use "libreoffice3*
libobasis3* libreoffice-menus*" when I first installed but after
that updates were picked up normally.
Can you elaborate a bit pls?
AG,
I used the line:
prompt> sudo apt-get install libreoffice3* lobasis3.3*
libreoffice-debian-menus
to install LibO from the Nikola's LibO deb repository. When it came
time to install beta2, I uninstalled beta1 then used the line above to
install beta2. Although apt did pick up the fact that the packages
were updated and installed them, I discovered after the fact that
beta1 had to be uninstalled first.
Regards,
Scott Furry
Thanks for the details Scott
I followed this, removed the previously installed beta 2 version of LibO
and attempted an installation as per your apt-get line. The result:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
So no go. Perhaps this is just me, but I really don't think that one
should have this degree of difficulty installing an application,
especially when - generally speaking - apt-get is one of the more robust
package managers available.
So, back to removing any partial installs and re-installing by hand.
Thanks anyway.
