[SOLVED] Libre Office + broken packages + won't install

hydrurga · 04-18-2019, 07:03 PM

Thanks. You need to install the latest version of libreoffice-common but given that apt is playing up, I imagine that it will balk at:

Code:

apt install libreoffice-common

It it doesn't work, then you're going to have to download the file and install it manually:

Code:

wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libr/libreoffice/libreoffice-common_6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.5_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i libreoffice-common_6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.5_all.deb

That may fail as well, in which case we will probably have to chase dependencies.

ScottB63 · 04-18-2019, 07:07 PM

yes first failed, second said I have broken packages, and I'm not exactly sure how to fix those.

Can you provide the output from the second command.

ScottB63 · 04-18-2019, 07:16 PM

Ran it again, I obviously did something wrong the first time, here is the output:

Code:

Are you running Sophos anti-virus?

ScottB63 · 04-18-2019, 07:21 PM

hydrurga · 04-18-2019, 07:23 PM

Thought so. I just came across this:

https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=283441

Stop Sophos. Then try the sudo dpkg -i command again.

ScottB63 · 04-18-2019, 07:33 PM

Sorry, it took me a few to figure out how to stop Sophos.

Code:

For future readers of this thread (who deserve a medal if they read this far), how did you stop Sophos?

Ok, we now have a mix of installed/uninstalled/configured/unconfigured LibreOffice packages. So let's throw this at it:

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install

ScottB63 · 04-18-2019, 07:38 PM

I read the below output several times....still can't tell if it is good or bad..lol

It is good.

Ok. Let's just check that everything is good and up-to-date:

Code:

sudo dpkg --audit

apt check

apt update

apt upgrade

How did you stop Sophos?

ScottB63 · 04-18-2019, 07:47 PM

To start and stop the services, use the following commands:

# systemctl start sav-protect.service
# systemctl start sav-rms.service
# systemctl stop sav-protect.service
# systemctl stop sav-rms.service

Do you recommend I uninstall sophos???

Ok. Thanks for the Sophos info.

I honestly don't know about Sophos. I too have it installed but I don't have it running in real-time, I only use it from time to time to manually run a scan. I would suggest disabling it before each update, but you might find that to be a bother. Perhaps check the list of updates in Update Manager and only turn it off if anything LibreOffice-related is in there (which shouldn't be that often, anyway, just if there is a security update).

As for the Google Earth repo warning, run Software Sources and select Maintenance->Fix MergeList problems.

DONE and DONE. I will just run Sophos manually. THANKS AGAIN. I will let you be so you can use your knowledge and expertise to assist some other poor sole like me. Thank you so much, it was quite a humbling endeavour,for me anyway.. Have a great day/night. THANKS!!!!!

Great. Sorry that it took us so long to get there. If I had Googled "Operation not permitted" and "LibreOffice" right at the start, I would have come across that solution sooner (but then you wouldn't have learned some interesting dpkg and apt commands

). Thanks for bearing with me. Anyway, I'm off to my kip (it's 2am here)! All the best.
