package libreoffice-java-common 1:4.2.7-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: package libreoffice-java-common is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')

[James Brennan]

Tried to install zope web server to see what it was like.
Install failed, this was the message.
package libreoffice-java-common 1:4.2.7-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: package libreoffice-java-common is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')

I will run the software update on my system and see if that helps.

James Brennan, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please remove all libreoffice-* packages first. Then, execute the following at a terminal:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade

Then, please reinstall libreoffice following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOfficeBugWrangling , try to install the zope web server again, and advise to your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello Christopher:

I have removed all libreoffice-* packages, ran the update and upgrade, and reinstalled libreoffice using the instructions at the website.
Trying to reinstall zope resulted in this error message:<<
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

zope2.13:i386: Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2) but it is a virtual package
>>
So, something to do with the version of Python installed on my system?

Cheers,James
