There is a a problem when you installating LibreOffice 4.3 from ppa. /var/lib/dpkg/info/libreoffice-base.postrm: 31: /var/lib/dpkg/info/libreoffice-base.postrm: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "fi") dpkg: error processing libreoffice-base (--remove): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: libreoffice-base E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I used this solution : http://askubuntu.com/questions/512162/libreoffice-base-not-configured-yet /var/lib/dpkg/info/libreoffice-base.postrm The missing line, /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/basic/script.xlc needs to be added to the end of the file's second if statement, just above the closing fi, like so: --divert /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/basic/script.xlc.noaccess \ /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/basic/script.xlc fi
It was a bug in the RC3 packaging that prevented the installation of later versions. Newer packages shouldn't have this bug. Anyway bugs related to PPA packaging should be reported to the PPA maintainers.
