[SOLVED] Libreoffice broken install

#1 Post by Snaerulfr »

Hi!
I recently ran an upgrade of libreoffice with apt, but libreoffice-common did not upgrade. This has led to me being completely unable to do anything at all with my libreoffice install, including using purge or remove. While I can still (thankfully) use the software itself, this is bugging me beyond belief. Is there anything I can do?
I should add that --fix-broken install did nothing. I have root.
Thanks

Libreoffice is a large, complex application. If your upgrade was incomplete an easy way to fix is to autoremove libreoffice and re-install. I would also peruse the server specified in your /etc/apt/sources.list to see if it has the upgraded libreoffice-common package. Your server may have been in the process of syncing during your upgrade.

All those foreign repositories may cause significant problems, though I can't say for sure if this is the cause.

What about

Code: Select all

aptitude why-not libreoffice-common
I'll have to come back to this again later, I'm posting on my phone and it is v painful...

I don't mind, thank you very much for your help so far!

Here's what why-not gave me. Doesn't seem to say much, and actually seems to contradict what's happening in reality.

Let's try

Code: Select all

# aptitude upgrade
If it asks any questions, keep saying "no" until it tells you there are no other options, at which point quit the operation and post the full output here, thanks!

I'm flailing around a bit here, somebody else may post more cogent advice (hopefully).

So what are the permissions on the file it can't open?

Code: Select all

ls -l
^ Run that on the file in question.

Code: Select all

'/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/swriter/toolbar/changes.xml.dpkg-new'
doesn't exist.

Code: Select all

'/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/swriter/toolbar/changes.xml'
has permissions:
-rw-r--r--

I've been using sudo on every command each time so should have root anyway.

How about ownership? Both of the file and the parent directory.

Perhaps relevant:

Are you using Sophos?

I would delete the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives and try re-installing the packages.

I am using Sophos, yes. Is that the issue?

Disabling sophos worked! Thank you very much. I'll reenable and save the command for next time dpkg throws a wobbly.

Woot!

Please add [SOLVED] to the thread title to help others who may have this problem.

EDIT: blatant SEO attempt:

Code: Select all

dpkg unable to open operation not permitted
^ That was the search term I used.
