OpenOffice 3.0 update problems
December 24th, 2008
I’ve been having problems with the automatic updates of OpenOffice 3.0. I’ve been using this PPA:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main
And automated update gives me the option to do a partial update, which doesn’t work either. Irritating! After some googling I found the following:
The fix is to run system / administration / synaptic and do a mark all upgrades and apply. That’ll get you back up and running without the partial upgrade horking everything.That fixed the problem! Update works and OpenOffice works. What I couldn’t find out is whether OO actually updated. That’s not the important part, since it worked fine and it still does.
This did the trick for me!
Thx
