Description shirishag75 2011-01-17 23:23:43 UTC

I tried following instructions from here
 http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-redhat-ubuntu-linux-install-lo_3-3-0-linux_x86_install-rpm_en-us-tar-gz/

Made a directory at an arbitary location /usr/local/src/

/usr/local/src/libreoffice/$

Downloaded both the packages 

LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz
LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz

Extracted both in different directories 

tar xzvf *.gz

then went to individual directories and installed them. 

cd LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-US/DEBS/

sudo dpkg -i *.deb 

There were couple of core files which didn't get installed the first time around, installed them again and it went without an hitch. 

Then when trying to install the helppack get the following error 

/usr/local/src/libreoffice/LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-US/DEBS$ sudo dpkg -i libobasis3.3-en-us-help_3.3.0-19_amd64.deb

OOps, my bad I meant first I Installed the Install files :-

/libreoffice/LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb 

and then tried installing from 

/libreoffice/LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-US/DEBS$ sudo dpkg -i libobasis3.3-en-us-help_3.3.0-19_amd64.deb

I don't know the pb for the version you tried but if you're interested on the pre-releases, have you tried the last versions on http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/ ?

If you're not particularly interested in pre-release versions, you can just use the Debian Apt repo and try this :
apt-cache search libreoffice|grep help
to find helppack in your language.

Comment 3 Julien Nabet 2011-10-01 05:38:12 UTC

By re reading the logs in your first comment, I wonder if you had removed every element of a previous install.

Eg, we can see 2 versions of this line
dpkg: error processing libobasis3.3-en-us-help_3.3.0-19_amd64.deb (--install):
 trying to overwrite '/opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/help/en/simpress.key', which is
also in package libobasis3.3-en-us-impress 3.3.0-17
