Created attachment 80575 [details] terminal output from "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" Installing 4.1 Beta 2 on a stock Ubuntu 13.04 (64bit) system causes errors about package conflicts. My impression is that the Beta builds were supposed to install independently of the stock version provided with the OS. Actually I don't know if it is a conflict with Ubuntu's packages or an internal conflict within the debs included in the tarball. I untarred, changed to the DEBS subdir, and did "sudo dpkg -i *.deb". I'll attach the complete console log, but in summary: ... Selecting previously unselected package libreofficedev. dpkg: regarding libreofficedev4.1-debian-menus_4.1.0-0_all.deb containing libreofficedev: libreoffice-core conflicts with libreoffice-unbundled libreofficedev provides libreoffice-unbundled and is to be installed. dpkg: error processing libreofficedev4.1-debian-menus_4.1.0-0_all.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing libreofficedev ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libreofficedev4.1: libreofficedev4.1 depends on lodevbasis4.1-core04; however: Package lodevbasis4.1-core04 is not installed ...and many others like that... I tried running the resulting /opt/libreofficedev4.1/program/swriter and got the splash screen, then an abort saying it could not load shared library libsofficeapp.so Steps to reproduce: 1. Download the 4.1 Beta 2 LibreOfficeDev_4.1.0.0.beta2_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-US.tar.gz Confirm md5sum is 8676087cfabafc5c454f7aec349d2856 2. tar xvf <thefile> cd LibreOfficeDev_4.1.0.0.beta2_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS 3. sudo dpkg -i *.deb Current behavior: Many errors, and result doesn't run Expected behavior: Impressive-sounding voice from above Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.1.0.0.beta2
Just to be sure, I re-installed Ubuntu 13.04 cleanly (in a VM) and then downloaded and installed LO 5.1.0.0.beta2 Now only two errors occur during installation, and the resulting code seems to work (at least calc, haven't tried the other apps). One of the errors complained that no java interpreter could be found (but it works, so...?) and I don't remember the other. Sorry I didn't save a typescript that time. Marking as RESOLVED INVALID
