Have you got aptitude installed? It sometimes does a better job than
apt-get at getting out of dependency hell since it uses different
algorithms. Use that to try removing the package 'libreoffice', since
that seems to depend on the rest of them.

If that fails, you could try to gather a list of the LibreOffice
packages that are installed and manually remove them with dpkg until
the dependencies resolve and apt-get can fix the rest.
