Hi
I built openoffice on my Ubuntu(14.04)
The build successfully run with no error message.
But when i tried to install openoffice debian menus
Following error shows:

(--install):
trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/soffice', which is also in package
libreoffice-common 1:4.2.8-0ubuntu5.3
/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache
Please help
As root and/or with sudo privilege make a backup of /usr/bin/soffice and
force the installation of the DEB package as:
dpkg --force-all -i oo-package.deb
After OO package successfully installs, analyze: ls -l /usr/bin/soffice
You will find that it is a symbolic link to
/opt/openoffice4/program/soffice
Accordingly, you can make a proper sym link more relevant to OO, i.e.,
as root [or sudo]:
cd /usr/bin
ln -s /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice apacheoo
*proceed* to make another relevant link:
cd /opt/openoffice4/program/
ln -s soffice.bin apacheoo.bin
That's it! Go back and delete (if necessary) and restore from backup the
original /usr/bin/soffice.
Now as a normal user, you can start OO from any shell by simply typing:
apacheoo &
at any command prompt.
**For hard core Apache OO users**
Now, assuming you are not using GNOME as your Desktop GUI, if I were you
and LibreOffice had no *nasty* dependency on GNOME, I would just purge
LibreOffice altogether ;-)
apt-get purge $(dpkg-query -l "*libreoffice*" | grep ^ii | cut -d' '
-f3)
< https://metztli.it/readOnlyEphemeral/libreoffice-gnome-dependency.png

which is what I do in every Metztli Reiser4 Debian -based installation
for AMD64, since, if the user still decides to purge LibreOffice *but*
keep GNOME, I do install my non-LibreOffice-dependency gnome Debian
packages over originals *but* version(s) may be different in Ubuntu.
gnome_3.22+3.1_amd64.deb
gnome-core_3.22+3.1_amd64.deb

Good luck!
