I have tried to install Libre Office Base with Ubuntu Center and Synaptic with no success. Ubuntu 12.04. I get the following message with Synaptic: Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade

The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences.

libreoffice-base: Depends:libreoffice-core but it's not going to be installed Depends:libreoffice-base-core but it's not going to be installed Depends: libreoffice-java-common but it's not going to be installed

I got a dialog box before this message telling me to mark things, but that didn't seem to work either. Thank you!

use the following commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-3-5
sudo update
sudo install libreoffice-base

for some reason, your system can't find the libreoffice packages , but the commands above would add a repository where such packages are available the first command add a repo the second perform an update to the packages list and last actually perform the install
