I am also affected by this bug in Mint 13 Maya (based on precise),
x86-x64.
This was the error given by aptitude when trying to remove (and then
reinstall):
> /var/lib/dpkg/info/libreoffice-base.postrm: 31:
> /var/lib/dpkg/info/libreoffice-base.postrm: Syntax error: end of file
> unexpected (expecting "fi")
> dpkg: chyba při zpracovávání libreoffice-base (--remove):
> podproces instalovaný post-removal skript vrátil chybový status 2
(the dpkg: message says "error while processing ... subprocess installed by
post-removal script returned error status 2")
As this prevented me from uninstalling and reinstalling, I tried to
clean the package cache (thus the new package is re-downloaded) and
reinstall with the latest version, forcing an overwrite:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install --reinstall
libreoffice-base
> Rozbaluji náhradu libreoffice-base …
> dpkg: varování: potlačuji problém, protože je nastaveno --force:
> zkouším přepsat soubor „/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/basic/dialog.xlc“, který
> je také v balíku libreoffice-common 1:4.3.1~rc2-0ubuntu1~precise1
('trying to overwrite file "...", which is also in package libreoffice-common
1:4.3.1~rc2-0ubuntu1~precise1')

("looks like everything went well")
This has *solved* the problem for me - the issue seems to be 1. the same file
included in multiple packages, and 2. an error in an old postrm script,
preventing further upgrade.
