I have now dowloaded and installed the Debian (*.deb) files and all is working. However, when I try to install the GB (English) pack (LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-GB), I get the error message zed@zed ~ $ cd /home/zed/Downloads/LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-GB/DEBS zed@zed ~/Downloads/LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-GB/DEBS $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb [sudo] password for zed: (Reading database ... 209231 files and directories currently installed.)

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'libobasis3.3-en-gb' has no installation candidate A search for the package leads to Ubuntu PPAs but as I am using the Debian edition of LinuxMint, I am reluctant to use these, in case there are future problems. Any further advice would be appreciated.
