I uninstalled Libreoffice and installed Openoffice only To find out that I do not like OpenOffice any more. I uninstalled OpenOffice today and tried installing LibreOffice and I got errors.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libreoffice-core : Depends: libreoffice-common (> 1:4.2.7) but it is not installed
libreoffice-help-en-us : Depends: libreoffice-l10n-en-us
libreoffice-java-common : Depends: libreoffice-common but it is not installed
libreoffice-l10n-en-gb : Depends: libreoffice-common but it is not installed
libreoffice-l10n-en-za : Depends: libreoffice-common but it is not installed
y-ppa-manager : Depends: yad (>= 0.8.0) but it is not installed
Depends: python-software-properties but it is not installed
So I tried to do sudo apt-get -f install
and I get asked to install and I say yes this is the message.
$ sudo apt-get -f install
