Hi!
Thank you for suggestions! When I tried to uninstall openoffice using
Synaptic, I received following error message:
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies
E: Unable to lock the download directory
I tried different orders to uninstall openoffice, but this appears, when
I try to uninstall core package.
Andis
For Andis on Ubuntu:
1. Download the linux code from OOo directly.
2. Uninstall the Ubuntu 2.1 OOo applications (Synaptic works well for
this). I also uninstall the ubuntu-desktop, but you might want to keep
yours. However w/unbuntu-desktop you will not be able to install the OOo
desktop-integration .deb so you'll need to manually add the OOo
applications to the Applications|Office menus.
2. Unarchive the OOo code using the archive manager & allow it to
extract to it's own directory. Change the directory name to something
simple; OOo2.1
3. From a terminal window:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install alien
cd OOo2.1
cd RPMS
sudo alien -v -k *.rpm
[this will take awhile on a slow computer, be patient]
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd desktop-integration
sudo dpkg -i openoffice.org-debian-menus_2.1.5_all.deb
[note: this last only works if ubuntu-desktop is uninstalled first]
You now should be able to: Applications|Office and see your installed
OOo. Open Writer, follow the registration etc prompts, then try your
address book access & they all should be there.
If you choose not to uninstall the ubuntu-desktop, skip the:
sudo dpkg -i openoffice.org-debian-menus_2.1.5_all.deb
step and instead:
1. Right click Applications
2. Choose Edit Menus
3. Click on Office
4. New Item
5. Name: OOo 2.1 Writer
6. Command: - Browse & browse to /opt/openoffice.org2.1/program/swriter
Repeat for Calc (scalc), etc. If you have problems drop me a line off-list.
Morgan: I don't know anything about FC, but you might want to explore
installing directly as well.
