Libreoffice help files


I have Libreoffice 4.3.5.2 installed, which is nice..

When I do something like add an application or even do an apt-get autoremove, or something similar, I get a whole page of lines similar to the one below:

dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'libreoffice4.2-calc' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed

Which is correct. I don't have these files anymore, not since I updated.

How can I convince Ubuntu (14.04) not to go looking for files that went ages ago?

I've attached an output for anyone interested.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I think we need to see what you actually have installed. Please run the following and post the output in [code] tags.
Code:
COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l *libreoffice*
Evo2.

Hi,

as you can be seen from the output you posted there are still many libreoffice4.2 packages installed (packages where line starts with "ii"). If you don't want them you should uninstall them.

Cheers,

Evo2.

PS. Re weather: Japan covers quite a large range of latitude and altitude, so the weather at any one time is rather varied. Where I am now is sunny and just above freezing.
