For me this worked:
sudo apt-get install synaptic
sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
Then remove ppa for LibreOffice4
Add ppa for LibreOffice3.6
sudo apt-get update
via synaptic reinstall packages which make problems for me it was libexttextcat
Install LibreOffice via synaptic.
In order to expand Sylvain Pineaus answer a bit: I had the same problem as OP and I solved it like this:
I added the following lines at the end of /etc/apt/sources.list:
# REMEMBER TO DELETE THIS AFTER SVN 1.7 is installed
deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu saucy main
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy main universe restricted multiverse
Now remove the svn packages with version 1.8
sudo apt-get remove subversion libsvn1
update the sources
sudo apt-get update
and install the correct versions
sudo apt-get install subversion=1.7.9-1+nmu6ubuntu3 libsvn1=1.7.9-1+nmu6ubuntu3
Now we need to fix the version of the packages by
echo subversion hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo libsvn1 hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo libserf1 hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
The libserf1 is needed by subversion or libsvn1 and is now (in 14.04) called libserf-1-1, I guess.
Now remove the lines of /etc/apt/sources.list that were added and update the sources once again (just to be sure)
sudo apt-get update
Best Answer
What you could try is changing all your entries in
/etc/apt/sources.listto precise, like thisthen run:
If the install of subversion 1.6 works out for you, then you'll want to revert your sources.list, and to lock subversion at 1.6 you run
echo subversion hold | sudo dpkg --set-selectionsThis type of installation is not highly recommended, but sometimes it's the easiest option. If it runs into all kinds of crazy conflicts, then you're other best option is to just switch back to Ubuntu 12.04.
