I never saw any such link. I just went back and looked at your previous messages on this thread, and I don't find it. Neither apt-cache search libreoffice, nor synaptic show any such files. Aptitude (my preference) doesn't show them either. I have all the us debian repos enabled, plus non-free, experimental, the 3rd party dmm repo, and lenny-backports. None of them are offering me libreoffice. > Maybe you forgot to add them to your system, like explained in the link you > found : http://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental or maybe you're using a > mirror that doesn't contain the experimental branch or is not up to date. > Also, although the unofficial .deb from the LibreOffice websites do install > in /opt, I'd recommend you using the packages from Debian, although in > experimental, because: > - they put the files in more "common" places > - they are more likely to be maintained this way, as there is a LibreOffice > maintainer for Debian.

All gnu/linux systems have a great deal of similarities on many levels, sure. Ubuntu and debian both use dpkg, apt, for package management, and the file system is similarly arranged. I concur. They do not, however, use the same repositories, and packages that appear in an ubuntu repo are frequently very different from what is in the Debian/Stable (Ienny) repositories. A lot of what ships in ubuntu can only be found in sarge or testing, and, even then, the packages are not the same (although, yes, when I can't find a debian specific file, I have installed "ubuntu" debs for some stuff). I'm using stable (although I do have backports enabled, which, as I understand it, allows me to pull some stuff from testing/squeeze). For instance, to my knowledge, Karmic has OOo 3.0 or something. Debian/stable (lenny) still has OOo 2.4. Big difference. That is why I point out that I'm using Debian, not Ubuntu; because they ARE different. be well, tony -- http://www.baldwinlinguas.com http://www.baldwinsoftware.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
