I wanted to install some basic software, so I tried to start FreeOffice that I already use with ubuntu and I am ok with.
So I downloaded the 32-bit .deb, and tried to install.
But I get
Code: Select all
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of softmaker-freeoffice-2018:
softmaker-freeoffice-2018 depends on libcurl4 | libcurl3; however:
Package libcurl4 is not installed.
Package libcurl3 is not installed.
softmaker-freeoffice-2018 depends on libgl1-mesa-glx; however:
Package libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing package softmaker-freeoffice-2018 (--install):

error processing package libcurl3:i386 (--install):

So I tried another way with "sudo apt-get install -f" but having no internet connection I get

I wonder if having some issues even in installing basic software is the norm in Debian or if I am doing something wrong. I am sure that somebody more skilled than me could solve these problems easily, and also that trying to solve them could teach me a lot, I am ok with spending some time learning, but I am not a Linux wizard, I am not an informatician, and spending hours at work trying to install a basic software can be a big problem...and with Ubuntu I never met this kind of issues installing a very basic software like freeoffice...
I would just have your opinion if my case is something strange or if it is normal with Debian, so until I have no time to study even being available to spend hours to install a software it would be better to me to continue to use Ubuntu at least at job..even if I would be quite sad about..thank you very much!!!!
