Hi,

What happened, to install openoffice using dpkg, libreoffice was
removed, along with various other packages, so when i came back to
reinstating libreoffice (as part of testing) openoffice was removed,
but I believe when I installed libreoffice-gtk3 not all the components
of libreoffice were pulled in - unlike the standard libreoffice install
- if this make sense to all.

Anyway the problem is removed - all is well.

Thanks everyone.

That makes it sound as though you may not have the package 'libreoffice'
installed.  libreoffice is a metapackage that will install all the
_required_ parts of LO.  There will still be optional parts that it may
be desirable for you to also install, but that's up to you.

I don't know what you use for package management but trying installing
the metapackage 'libreoffice'.  It can't hurt - if it's already installed
your installer will tell you so.
