It seems you have installed some 3rd party related packages of *OpenOffice* which are not supported in an Ubuntu installation with LibreOffice.
Please remove the OpenOffice packages you have installed to fix this conflict. See "dpkg -l | grep openoffice" for the packages which need to be removed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1924684 Title: package libreoffice-common (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/soffice', which is also in package openoffice-debian-menus 4.1.9-9805 Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Previously I somehow managed to manually install libreoffice. I've been using it for months now and want to keep using it. Recently within the Spreadsheet app ("OpenOffice Calc"), it said that an update was available. Tried to update within the app itself, but that failed so I left it as-is at least for a week or more. Today when I did a "sudo apt upgrade -y", that command is now erroring out with unmet dependencies, something to do with libreoffice-core. I haven't figured out what to do about it yet. See https://pastebin.com/B4TKtbwp I'm unsure what to do about this. Please email me at g...@glencooper.com if you have any suggestions. At the very minimum I would like to keep my system up-to-date with making it so the "sudo apt upgrade -y" command doesn't error out. Thanks!
