Openoffice 3.2.1 not installable

[IanW]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Latest update on Maverick (1:3.2.1-5ubuntu1) is not installable due to missing dependencies.

Error message:-

openoffice.org-common:
Depends: openoffice.org-style-default or openoffice.org-style

Neither package exists in synaptic, nor does the Launchpad package page state that they have been built.
Only styles available are:-

openoffice.org-style-andromeda
openoffice.org-style-crystal
openoffice.org-style-galaxy
openoffice.org-style-hicontrast
openoffice.org-style-human
openoffice.org-style-insustrial
openoffice.org-style-oxygen
openoffice.org-style-tango

Changelog on Launchpad contains this:-
" - add openoffice.org-style-human package and makes openoffice.org-gtk to recommend it instead of the tango one."

Perhaps dependency should read "openoffice.org-style-human" instead of just "openoffice.org-style"?

[Harry (harry33)]

The dependencies are correct.
The openoffice.org-style packages you listed all of them provide virtual package "openoffice.org-style".
But those packages are for the time being available only for the 32-bit architecture.
The 64-bit architecture did not build well and failed.
Just wait till it gets built.

according to this log the amd64 version was built correctly (version 1:3.2.1-5). But I'm still getting some unsatisfied dependencies....

sorry the log in the previous post should be https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/1:3.2.1-5ubuntu1/+build/1916261

Anyway I found it... many of OOo packages depend on ure (>=1:3.2.1-5ubuntu1) but ure with version 1.6.1+OOo3.2.1~rc2-2ubuntu1 is in the repository to be installed, which obviously fails.

on maverick amd64

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 openoffice.org-base : Depends: openoffice.org-base-core (= 1:3.2.1-5ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: ure (>= 1:3.2.1-5ubuntu1) but 1.6.1+OOo3.2.1-5ubuntu1 is to be installed

[Michal Matyska (michal-matyska)]

openoffice.org (1:3.2.1-5ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low

  * Pass the same -v to "dh_makeshlibs --" (for dpkg-gensymbols) as to
    "dh_gencontrol --" (for dpkg-gencontrol); some symbols are missing from
    the symbols files and hence ure symbols have bogus dep on ure >=
    source-version which can't be satisfied as ure uses another versioning
    scheme; fixes installability on amd64.
