Well, they start out okay, but don't finish okay.

The instructions say to run Synaptic, mark something to be installed, 
select the version I want with Force Version.

So far so good. But, when I try to install liberoffice 1.3.5.7 it complains:

         Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade.

There are a lot of packages related to libreoffice. When I try to force 
the version of a few of them it complains about others. When I try to 
force the version of a lot of them, some of them revert to 1.4.0.1. It 
seems rather circular.

Sigh.
