</span>Have you got aptitude installed?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I thought I had, but after checking I know now that I haven't... </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">It sometimes does a better job than<br>
apt-get at getting out of dependency hell since it uses different<br>
algorithms. Use that to try removing the package 'libreoffice', since<br>
that seems to depend on the rest of them.<br>
<br>
If that fails, you could try to gather a list of the LibreOffice<br>
packages that are installed and manually remove them with dpkg until<br>
the dependencies resolve and apt-get can fix the rest.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks.
