Hi Hugh,
I am not a Ubuntu user but I can share an experience with Fedora. I
remember running into a similar problem but I can't remember exactly
what. After "cd desktop-integration" have a look at the contents of the
folder, eg. I see:
[tim@petunia ~]$ ls
LibreOffice_4.0.2.2_Linux_x86_rpm/RPMS/desktop-integration/
libreoffice4.0-freedesktop-menus-4.0.2-2.noarch.rpm
libreoffice4.0-mandriva-menus-4.0.2-2.noarch.rpm
libreoffice4.0-suse-menus-4.0.2-2.noarch.rpm
In my case there is no Fedora specific installer so I chose the
freedesktop-menus RPM. Maybe if you try to "sudo dpkg" only the .deb
file for Ubuntu (or freedesktop) it might do the trick. I think you are
trying to install versions for other distros as well as yours.
Cheers

I get the following error message after successfully installing the
first part according to the readme txt, and trying to install the
