LibreOffice, the office suite that comes preinstalled on Ubuntu is a fork of OpenOffice. That means that basically it's the same program with some modifications. And again that means that they conflict in lots of places.

You can't have both installed at the same time without using some tricks, like installing one from source.

So the easiest way to solve your problems is to uninstall libreoffice before trying to install Openoffice.

Problem solved - uninstalling libreoffice-common package is needed, then run again

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

in

desktop-integration

Should it be OK now ;-)
