[ale] just installed LibreOffice in Linux, should have been easier

[Ron Frazier]

Preston,

I can't say what happened. The commands below worked on the other PC's 
with no problem. PC #3 is running the same version of Ubuntu, but the 
process failed and threw the errors I posted. I tried it yesterday, but 
I have no explanation. Once I installed that one package manually, the 
rest worked. I actually did the last two commands from synaptic, but the 
result should be the same either way.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-gnome

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
