Can't manage to uninstall Libreoffice-base 4.3

[kamayok3]

I got this message when I tried Sudo apt-get install -f in terminal.

Can someone guide me on this problem? Now I can't even update softwares in Update Manager because it always stuck at this removing thingy. Thanks.

Hi,

to remove it completely use this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get clean

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get autoremove

Hi,

On my way to upgrading to Libreoffice 4.3 I managed to make a mess of it. I've been Googling around, and landed here. I hope some one can help. I have tried removing libreoffice-base via Synaptic, and every known Terminal command that I can think of to use. However, I always end up here:

adler@adler-HP-Spectre-XT-Ultrabook-PC ~ $ sudo apt-get clean
adler@adler-HP-Spectre-XT-Ultrabook-PC ~ $ sudo apt-get autoremove

Any ideas here?

Hi,

did you do this first?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*

Well, you could remove it manually by running the commands below.

Code: Select all

mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/libreoffice-base.* /tmp/
dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq libreoffice-base

seems you have orphaned packages.

try this or install gtkorphan (package manager)

ibrahimansari,

Thank you! That did the trick.

PatH57,

Thanks for that, but I already tried that, and running Bleachbit, in Root, and as USR.

All in all, updating to the latest libreoffice4.3, has not been easy. LOL!

Gentlemen, thank you for your help!

Modes,

You can mark this as SOLVED.
