Hi :) Is it the Debian packagers that need to know about this? I think they are the ones that choose which other packages are listed as dependencies of packages in their repos? Regards from Tom :)

Yes it is failing with the latest version of Libreoffice and works with the latest version of AOO. I am also not able to install an X server, but I could drill down what's causing the issue. It seems the issue is the package dependency of Debian packages. I have selectively installed the Debian packages I want, like calc, writer etc, and their dependencies. I haven't used any command like force and if the package required an another package, I installed it too. However, when using strace I've seen a couple of missing files, which come with other packages. My current list of installed packages; libobasis3.5-base libobasis3.5-calc libobasis3.5-core01 libobasis3.5-core02 libobasis3.5-core03 libobasis3.5-core04 libobasis3.5-core05 libobasis3.5-core06 libobasis3.5-core07 libobasis3.5-images libobasis3.5-impress libobasis3.5-ooofonts libobasis3.5-pyuno libobasis3.5-writer libreoffice3.5 libreoffice3.5-calc libreoffice3.5-impress libreoffice3.5-ure libreoffice3.5-writer The missing package was libobasis3.5-en-us_3.5.3-2_amd64.deb. I re-checked all these installed packages and none of them has a dependency to that file. It now seems an obvious file to install but since I trusted the dependency system, I missed it. Now it is working correctly. Should I file a bug report to the bugzilla?
