Comment 1 Julien Nabet 2014-08-20 11:10:35 UTC
According to the description , rather installation problem than Basic language (Macro, etc.) pb

However, I don't understand the title, at least don't see the relation with the description.
Could you explain?
Comment 2 Ian D. Samson 2014-08-20 11:25:30 UTC
Do I reply here? I'm not familiar with this program. Something is not
working right, just a variation using my humour. Obviously no one picked up
on it. According to the problem, as shown in the bug report. How do I alter
the subject line?

Comment 3 Ian D. Samson 2014-08-20 11:29:34 UTC
Whenever I run Synaptic Package Manager, there are broken dependancies that it cannot fix, not even with a reinstall. Therefore I am downloading the entire 4.3.0 deb.tar.gz again and will install it manually from the terminal.
Comment 4 Julien Nabet 2014-08-20 11:36:52 UTC
I don't use Synaptics but use Debian testing on x86-64.

I just runned apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade (ok, I should use apt-get upgrade) these last days as usual and I've got now 4.3.0 (instead of 4.2.6)

For the test, could you try this:
apt-get check && apt-get update
?
Then try to install with command line.
Comment 5 Ian D. Samson 2014-08-20 12:00:08 UTC
Okay, MID-AIR COLLISION averted - removed entire package using "apt-get remove libre*" then did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to ensure it wasn't downloading something it should not, it did not.

In the meanwhile, the download of LibreOffice 4.3.0.4 had completed, so I used tar -xvf on the .gz file to unzip, but had to use dpkg -i *.deb to install as the graphical version would not do it for me.

It was apt-get upgrade that made the mess of everything in the first place.

Pleased to report that everything is now working as it should.

Please close the bug report.
Thank you.
Comment 6 Julien Nabet 2014-08-20 12:05:59 UTC
Thank you for your feedback, I put it as WFM.
Comment 7 Ian D. Samson 2014-08-20 12:22:43 UTC
Resolved as per previous message. However, I ran apt-get upgrade and received this list of messages:

No diversion 'diversion of /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/basic/dialog.xlc to /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/basic/dialog.xlc.noaccess by libreoffice-base', none removed.
No diversion 'diversion of /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/basic/script.xlc to /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/basic/script.xlc.noaccess by libreoffice-base', none removed.
/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)

Does this mean the repository is buggy? Where's the problem, on my machine or with the repository?

I have three machines running LibreOffice 4.3.0.4 and I get similar errors on all 3 of them.
Comment 8 Julien Nabet 2014-08-20 12:48:16 UTC
Are you on Debian or on Ubuntu?
Could you copy paste the content of /etc/apt/sources.lst?

Comment 10 Julien Nabet 2014-08-20 12:55:25 UTC
Bjoern/Rene: if it's a dependency problem on K/L/Ubuntu I daresay "NOTOURBUG", what do you think?
Comment 11 Björn Michaelsen 2014-08-20 13:43:08 UTC
Thats lp#1357700 which should now be fixed on both Ubuntu and Debian.
Comment 12 Ian D. Samson 2014-08-20 13:54:06 UTC
apt-get upgrade gives these errors:
