I used the killall soffice.bin command about eight times, and then finally the last time pdfimport, filter-binfilter and the third program that wouldn't install ran and terminated normally. Synaptic now reports no more broken packages, and things are back to "normal"
Thank you for that tip. the other commands that I tried in this post didn't work, but this one did.
