I am in basically the same situation. I used Synaptic to "fix" the broken dependencies and then tried to reapply the update and received this error message: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/openoffice.org-core_1%3a3.2.0-7ubuntu4.2_i386.deb: short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during ` ./usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/program/libvclli.so')
Some possibly relevant terminal output is here: http://pastebin.com/z1AMdd8V To get OpenOffice updated I: $ sudo apt-get clean Then ran Synaptic-->Edit-->Fix Broken Packages Then applied the packages again. It re-downloaded openoffic.org-core and then successfully updated everything.
