Dear Jean-Baptiste, I went to the but report you mentioned, read through and methodically went through each suggested corrective measure. Nothing changed. Finally, I got to the suggestion to use "killall soffice.bin" which I did with sudo, and it took six more tries, but then it finally went through, ran the install of the final three programs which were pdfimport, emailmerge and filter-binfilter (which was the one giving the error message each time, that OO was running) and everything installed, updated and terminated normally. Synaptic now reports no broken packages or other errors.
Thank you for the assistance. I will go back and find my bug report and comment with the "fix".
