Following an apt-get update, upgrade sequence of commands the
latest version of openoffice (1.0.1-5) was downloaded (from
http://ftp.freenet.de testing/contrib Release) and partially
installed with openoffice.org-bin being held back
trying
apt-get -u install openoffice.org-bin
results in the following:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the
unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been
created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely
likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
openoffice.org-bin: Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:3.2-0pre3) but
1:3.1.1-0pre3 is to be installed
Depends: libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.2-0pre3) but it
is not installable
Depends: libstlport4.5gcc3.2 but it is not
going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
I have only recently started using Debian and am not sure what to
do next. Is it just a question of waiting until these problems
have been sorted or will getting openoffice from /unstable
resolve them
