Package: libreoffice-math
Version: Uninstallable package - "trying to over write ..." error
Severity: normal
Errr.... I thought this was specific to libreoffice-math, but noticed
that this is common to other packages in the libreoffice suite.
The issue will render libreoffice uninstallable on systems on which
openoffice.org is installed.
I had initially upgraded several packages, and installed lbreoffice.org
in the process using "aptitude -t experimental" gui. Had noticed that
some openoffice.org packages were being removed (did not pay much attention
since I have not been using OO.o for some time now - was using the packages
from The Documentation Foundation site).
Since libreoffice was not properly installed, I tried "aptitude -f install",
and found the following in the output.
