package libreoffice-common (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/soffice', which is also in package openoffice-debian-menus 4.1.9-9805
Previously I somehow managed to manually install libreoffice. I've been using it for months now and want to keep using it. Recently within the Spreadsheet app ("OpenOffice Calc"), it said that an update was available. Tried to update within the app itself, but that failed so I left it as-is at least for a week or more.
Today when I did a "sudo apt upgrade -y", that command is now erroring out with unmet dependencies, something to do with libreoffice-core. I haven't figured out what to do about it yet.
See https:/
I'm unsure what to do about this. Please email me at <email address hidden> if you have any suggestions.
At the very minimum I would like to keep my system up-to-date with making it so the "sudo apt upgrade -y" command doesn't error out.
Thanks!
