Comment 18 for bug 1662227

My system didn't have any libreoffice-l10n packages installed and I also get these errors. I'd tried the suggestions above and none worked so tried the following:-

~$ sudo apt-get install libreoffice-l10n
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libreoffice-l10n is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libreoffice-l10n' has no installation candidate

This implies to me that there is an installed package referring to libreoffice-l10n so tried installing one:-

~$ sudo apt-get install libreoffice-l10n-en-gb
Reading package lists... Done

Seems that there's a libreoffice package explicitly looking for libreoffice-l10n rather than libreoffice-l10n-xx-xx or should not look for one at all as there is no requirement to have one on your system.

Is there a way to figure out which existing package is looking for libreoffice-l10n?

Thanks, Nick
