Description: Seemingly, Ubuntu 14.04LTS has just updated some LibreOffice components and now third party PPA installation of LO has unmet dependencies. My 3rd party installation is to allow V5 rather than have V4.2 which is Ubuntu bundled version Ubuntu crashes when updating and suggests uninstalling 3rd party PPAs.

Ah, yes, I've had the same issue, apparently I've posted in the wrong places? Please include by Reference: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1722932 - https://askubuntu.com/questions/966179/how-to-get-a-repository-to-override-all-other-repositories-for-all-software-in If someone in LibreOffice knows an answer for the Ask Ubuntu, that would be very welcome as it would curtail the same issue happening in the future. Best, Michael
This is preventing a critical Ubuntu security update so importance (for me) is high. It seems to require the uninstallation of LibreOffice which I don't want to do, really. I don't know what preferences/settings/personalisation I'd lose by uninstalling. Any advice welcome. p.s. Sorry for unclipped/unedited terminal text in OP... I can't edit it now.
Ubuntu bug not LO bug.
Please report it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/~libreoffice CCing Rico in the meantime.

And both Ubuntu and LibreOffice bugs are getting 'Resolved' as 'It's their fault'! Anyone? Err... me! Just worked it out! Solution in fellow Noobspeak: 1. Run Synaptic Package Manager If not sure how, press the Windows/Super key then type Synaptic and click the appropriate icon 2. Enter your password when prompted 3. Click On The 'Status' button. Above that, select 'Broken Dependencies' 4. To the right, Select all four affected LibreOffice Packages 5. Right click them and choose 'Mark For Upgrade' option 6. Click the big Apply button, above. Unless the tiger is hiding, waiting to bite my hubristic backside, I think that this solves it. If it hasn't worked, perhaps you'd deseleted the LibreOffice PPA in the Depositary List. Reenable it and start again.
Re-opening, per @muru [1] this is purely a LibreOffice PPA issue, as shown by apt-cache policy [libreoffice-core / libreoffice] . Ubuntu is only up to LO 4.2.x, so it doesn’t (shouldn’t?) enter the picture at all since the LO PPA is 5.4.x. michael@local [~/data/trash]# apt-cache policy libreoffice-core libreoffice-core: Installed: 1:5.4.2~rc2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~lo1 Candidate: 1:5.4.2~rc2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~lo2 Version table: 1:5.4.2~rc2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~lo2 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages *** 1:5.4.2~rc2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~lo1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:4.2.8-0ubuntu5.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages 1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages michael@local [~/data/trash]# apt-cache policy libreoffice libreoffice: Installed: 1:5.4.2~rc2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~lo1 Candidate: 1:5.4.2~rc2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~lo2 Version table: 1:5.4.2~rc2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~lo2 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages *** 1:5.4.2~rc2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~lo1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:4.2.8-0ubuntu5.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/universe amd64 Packages 1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages [1] Comments on, where muru was very patient with my noob-nes with Apt, https://askubuntu.com/questions/966179/how-to-get-a-repository-to-override-all-other-repositories-for-all-software-in
Bjoern: I know you let the Ubuntu position available in "find expert" page, but do you know whom I may ping about this? Indeed, d esn't Launchpad belong to Canonical? If this is the case, why should we consider this bugtracker as LO bug?
This resolved my specific use case. As I do not know enough of the Apt world to know if this is an acceptable solution to this 'issue,' I'm leaving the status alone. Someone more knowledgeable please update the status as proper. > My Solution # apt-get update # apt-get upgrade --fix-broken As an additional note, I'll fully admit I did a simulation prior which seemed to indicate this wasn't actually going to work: # apt-get upgrade --simulate -fix-broken Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated, so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation! . . . 58 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. 47 not fully installed or removed. # # # In any event, this works properly now, yeah! # apt-get update && apt-get upgrade Your mileage may vary... ===== @Julien does your last sentence have a typo?
Does this issue still persist with the *~lo2* builds of 5.4.2~rc2? sudo apt update sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt upgrade Does calling those resolve the issue? Additionally there is "sudo dpkg --configure -a" to get out of half-installed states.
(In reply to Michael from comment #10) > @Julien does your last sentence have a typo? I spotted a typo in the sentence before: "Indeed, dOesn't Launchpad belong to Canonical?" About the last sentence, I don't think so or missed it. If Launchpad belongs to Canonical, I don't think this bugtracker should be considered as LO (LibreOffice) bug since it's Canonical which must deal with the software dependencies of Ubuntu releases (LTS or not).
AFAIK the LO PPA isn't maintained by TDF -> NOTOURBUG
