Thanks for the details Scott

I followed this, removed the previously installed beta 2 version of LibO 
and attempted an installation as per your apt-get line. The result:

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So no go. Perhaps this is just me, but I really don't think that one 
should have this degree of difficulty installing an application, 
especially when - generally speaking - apt-get is one of the more robust 
package managers available.

So, back to removing any partial installs and re-installing by hand.

Thanks anyway.
