[tdf-discuss] Problems installing LibO beta2 on Debian

Hi all

I dropped this into the thread on the beta 2 release, but that was the 
wrong place and it subsequently got lost.  So, to give it its own thread 
just in case others need it in the future.

For my Debian system, I found 
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/3.3.0-beta2/deb/x86/ 
and once I downloaded the relevant deb tarball I ran into some 
difficulties installing it.  I unpacked the tarball and ran, as sudo, sh 
update.

The process kicked up some errors, which concerned the following messages:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 en-US/DEBS/libobasis3.3-core01_3.3.0-9_i386.deb
 en-US/DEBS/libobasis3.3-en-us_3.3.0-9_i386.deb
 libreoffice3
 libreoffice3-writer
 libreoffice3-math
 libreoffice3-impress
 libreoffice3-en-us
 libreoffice3-draw
 libreoffice3-calc
 libreoffice3-base

Therefore:

(1) was running update the appropriate installation/ updating method to 
install beta 2 and if not, what is? and/ or
(2) have these issues been reported by others using the debian packages?

FWIW, I'm running an up-to-date Debian testing on a stand alone 
machine.  It has OOo and LibO beta 1 installed (& these actually seem to 
co-exist quite happily).

Thank you for any ideas on how to install beta 2.
