[Solved]Unmet dependencies with OpenOffice

[Fintan]

After yesterdays updates I am getting this:

Probieren Sie »apt-get -f install«, um dies zu korrigieren.
Die folgenden Pakete haben nicht erfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
openoffice.org-filter-binfilter: Hängt ab: openoffice.org-core (= 1:3.1.1-2ubuntu4) aber 1:3.1.1-4ubuntu1 ist installiert
E: Nicht erfüllte Abhängigkeiten. Versuchen Sie, -f zu benutzen.

Running:

fintan@fintanws2:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

gives:

dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von /var/cache/apt/archives/openoffice.org-filter-binfilter_1%3a3.1.1-4ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack):
Unterprozess neues pre-installation-Skript gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
/var/cache/apt/archives/openoffice.org-filter-binfilter_1%3a3.1.1-4ubuntu1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
fintan@fintanws2:~$

anyone else with this?

Re: Unmet dependencies with OpenOffice

Here the upgrade went smoothly.

Something to try:

Remove the openoffice.org-filter-binfilter / 1 /.

full-featured office productivity suite -- legacy filters (e.g. StarOffice 5.2)

This package contains the "binfilters", legacy filters for
- the old StarOffice 5.2 formats
- StarWriter 1.0/2.0
- StarWriter/DOS
- *Writer* filters for
+ Excel
+ Lotus

It has exact dependency, openoffice.org-core (= 1:3.1.1-2ubuntu4) - hmm - are you using the upgrade or the dist-upgrade ?

After the remove of the openoffice.org-filter-binfilter (1:3.1.1-2ubuntu4):

apt-get clean

and

sudo apt-get install -f

And then install the openoffice.org-filter-binfilter back.


/ 1 / Check before removing !:

sudo apt-get -s purge openoffice.org-filter-binfilter

or if you have the synaptic installed: Mark for Complete Remove > Apply > Show Details > Cancel/Apply
