package openoffice.org-core 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1 [modified: var/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program/services.rdb] failed to install/upgrade: conflicting packages - not installing openoffice.org-core

[Ken Nelan]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I continually received a message saying to close openoffice and quickstart, none of which was open at the time. I closed as many processes as possible with no end of problems. Even trying to fix the package through Synaptic produced the same errors.

Hi Chris,

I apologize for submitting a duplicate. I thought I had searched them
all, but I obviously missed it.

I was finally able to resolve the issue only by uninstalling OpenOffice
resolving all conflicts, then issuing apt-get upgrade, then apt-get
install openoffice.

It finally took. I'm not sure why it read that OpenOffice was open when
all processes were closed, but there it was. I've not been able to
reproduce the error, so might just be a fluke. A possible reboot, or
log out, then in may resolve, or else terminating anything associated
with OpenOffice, then updating.

Wish I could be more help, but it's working now.

Thanks so much.

Ken
