I tried to upgrade my LibreOffice to 4.0 on my Ubuntu 12.04, but now it doesn't work anymore. If I try to install LibreOffice again, I get the following output:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libreoffice : Depends: libreoffice-core (= 1:3.6.0~rc4-0ubuntu3~ppa1~precise1) but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libreoffice-writer but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libreoffice-calc but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libreoffice-impress but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libreoffice-draw but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libreoffice-math but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libreoffice-base but it is not going to be installed
libreoffice-gnome : Depends: libreoffice-core (= 1:3.6.0~rc4-0ubuntu3~ppa1~precise1) but it is not going to be installed
                 Depends: libreoffice-gtk but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Would be so great, if anybody could help me!

Thanks!

    Can you provide some details on how you tried to install LO4? We need to know the commands you used and what guide you followed. Thanks!

Have you tried installing it this way?

I did it like that yesterday and it works perfectly!

  • This is what happens dpkg: error processing /path/to/libreoffice/DEBS/*.deb (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: /path/to/libreoffice/DEBS/*.deb Feb 9, 2013 at 11:30
  • Please read the command in the tutorial carefully! /path/to/libreoffice/DEBS/*.deb has to be repleased by YOUR path where you downloaded libreoffice.

I was able to force Ubuntu to upgrade to version 4.0 by typing the following in a terminal (press enter after each line).

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If you don't have LibreOffice installed for whatever reason, then instead of the last line, type this.

sudo apt-get install libreoffice
