Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
Update: extended the bug report to cover various newer duplicates of other OOo extensions. the core problem is the same for all of these, openoffice.
Anyone with any of the following openoffice.org extensions cannot currently upgrade Ubuntu with update-manager from at least 8.04 LTS:
openoffice.
openoffice.
openoffice.
openoffice.
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS -> 10.04 LTS upgrades started to be offered via Update Manager when 10.04.1 was released, so more duplicates are now coming in.
---
I upgraded successfully a virtual machine from 9.10 to 10.04 with update-manager, but 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS (update-manager -d) is erroring out, although without breaking the system. The following error is gotten after retrieving new packages and moving to Installing packages phase:
Virhe suoritettaessa ("Error running")
'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend openoffice.
Palautetaan alkuperäistä järjestelmän tilaa ("Restoring original system state")
openoffice.
WORKAROUND:
The correct order would be to remove the old openoffice.
(note there is another report bug #556321 on 9.10 -> 10.04 upgrade problems, but I can't replicate those as described there)
