[LUG] Installing Open Office in Mint 15

 

Hi All,

I'm having issues with Libre office in Mint 15.. takes ages to open any files, so I want to install Open Office to see if it's an issue with Libre, or with the files. Also Libre insists every file is locked by another user which is a menace as well.

Anyway, I've downloaded the DEBs for Open Office 4.0 and installed them all the way up to the desktop-integration part and that's where it falls over:

julian@Cerce ~/Downloads/en-GB/DEBS/desktop-integration $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
(Reading database ... 161792 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking openoffice-debian-menus (from openoffice4.0-debian-menus_4.0-9714_all.deb) ... dpkg: error processing openoffice4.0-debian-menus_4.0-9714_all.deb (--install): trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/soffice', which is also in package libreoffice-common 1:4.0.2-0ubuntu1

Errors were encountered while processing:
 openoffice4.0-debian-menus_4.0-9714_all.deb

Where do I look to find out what the 'Errors' are please?

Kind regard,

Julian
