Bug Description
Description: Ubuntu 20.10
Release: 20.10
oscar:
Installed: 1.0.1-r1
Candidate: 1.1.1-1
Version table:
1.1.1-1 500
500 http://
*** 1.0.1-r1 100
100 /var/lib/
This machine is a fresh install (groovy gorilla, amd64) with "minimal" packages - so LibreOffice was not installed by default. I attempted to open an .xls file by clicking it in the file manager; responded to the resulting pop-up dialogue with "find an app to open this" and (from the list of three suggested apps) selecting LibreOffice Calc. The "Ubuntu Software" app popped up; I clicked "Install" - it sat at "0% completed" for a minute or two, then failed with the prompt to report this to Ubuntu as a bug and with "Unable to install 'LibreOffice Calc' as not supported.
An attempt to "apt install libreoffice" as root from the command line also fails, with:
# apt install libreoffice
