UBUNTU 8.04, OpenOffice.org 3.0 installation

Asked by peter

Hello

I've a question and I would be glad, if you have an answer. Thanks!

I've installed OpenOffice.org 3.0 for the second time. The installation worked without any problems.

But the installation of the OpenOffice 3.0 desktop integration package failed with following answers:

dpkg: regarding openoffice.org3.0-debian-menus_3.0-9354_all.deb containing openoffice.org-debian-menus:
 openoffice.org-core conflicts with openoffice.org-unbundled
  openoffice.org-debian-menus provides openoffice.org-unbundled and is to be installed.
dpkg: error processing openoffice.org3.0-debian-menus_3.0-9354_all.deb (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing openoffice.org-debian-menus
Errors were encountered while processing:
 openoffice.org3.0-debian-menus_3.0-9354_all.deb

I think, first I have to uninstall the first installtion of the OpenOffice 3.0 desktop integration package. And the question is: how I can do this?

Thanks for your answer.
Peter

Fire up synaptic or aptitude and search for openoffice. Remove all the matching packages. Then install the latest packages.

By matching I meant things with openoffice in the name...

Can you help with this problem?
