Hello,

You have to completely remove the installed LibreOffice version (all lobasis* or libobasis* packages too)- there are some library differences between beta 1 and 2. I had the same issue and i solved it like that.

BTW, here is a LibreOffice Debian repo that seems to be up to date:

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:

<snip>


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.

Thanks for the suggestion - this I did, and still received the following two errors:

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


If the core1 doesn't install, it seems like the rest won't either!


I have now downloaded the package as Kertesz suggested and run sh update.

Additional error messages are now that the application could not be started because "iso resource could not be loaded by SfxApplicator".

WTF???

I'd appreciate any help on this please.

Cheers

AG


I dont know about that error, i never used the update script.

I just dpkg-ed all debs from the DEBS folder and the DEBS/desktop-integration/ with the command (path is the path to the unpacked .debs):

sudo dpkg -i /path/*.deb

Now i installed beta1 from the tar.gz from the site and beta2 from the repository i mentioned. There were the library conflicts as AG observed. I purged all libreoffice related stuff and i installed beta2 and all is well.



Kertesz

Thanks for the more detailed instructions which I have now successfully followed.

The beta 2 now launches as expected without errors.

Thank you again!!

On a general note, I wonder if it would be worthwhile for the packagers of LibO to (a) include installation instruction documentation somewhere on their site where these can be easil;y found and used, and (b) to develop a script that will actually perform the installation. While I may not be the sharpest crayon in the pack, I obviously have had a fair bit of problems installing this onto my machine and to be honest going through this degree of hassle may well put some people off from even trying it in the first place.

Once again, Kertesz, my gratitude for your help and patience.

Best wishes

AG
