I have OOo 2.0.4 installed from the stable repository. I want to install 2.2.1 from backports so I added backports to my sources.
When I try to install with "aptitude -t etch-backports install openoffice.org", aptitude proposes an interesting solution. From what I see, I don't think I should accept it. And subsequent solutions seem even worse. I have included the first solution below. My system is 100% updated, so anything it says about Vim, MySql, etc. is a result of trying to install OOo 2.2.1. Should I purge OOo first? This is my first attempt to install from backports, so I am not sure about this. I have searched, but did not find anything helpful. ---- Begin Aptitude Output ---- The following packages are BROKEN: openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-common openoffice.org-core openoffice.org-draw openoffice.org-evolution openoffice.org-gnome openoffice.org-gtk openoffice.org-impress openoffice.org-java-common openoffice.org-math openoffice.org-writer python-uno The following packages are unused and will be REMOVED: libcurl3 libxt-java The following NEW packages will be automatically installed: libportaudio2 openoffice.org-filter-binfilter openoffice.org-filter-mobiledev openoffice.org-style-andromeda The following packages have been kept back: kdelibs-data kdelibs4c2a kdemultimedia-kio-plugins ktuberling libarts1-akode libfinance-quote-perl libkcddb1 libkdegames1 libmysqlclient15off libpisock9 libpisync0 linux-image-2.6-486 mysql-client-5.0 mysql-common mysql-server-5.0 openoffice.org-help-en-us ttf-opensymbol tuxpaint tuxpaint-config tuxpaint-data vim-common vim-full vim-gui-common vim-runtime vim-tiny The following NEW packages will be installed: libportaudio2 openoffice.org-filter-binfilter openoffice.org-filter-mobiledev openoffice.org-style-andromeda The following packages will be upgraded: openoffice.org The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: openoffice.org-style-crystal openoffice.org-style-hicontrast openoffice.org-style-industrial openoffice.org-style-tango 4 packages upgraded, 4 newly installed, 2 to remove and 35 not upgraded.
