"Waiting for cache lock" message is because your Ubuntu had been set to automatically update and was doing so at the same tine as you wre trying to install another program - in this case OpenOffice.

In my case, I use a command line to remove all traces of LibreOffice

Code: Select all

sudo apt purge libreoffice*
Do not omit the * at the end of libreoffice

Then I install OpenOffice also from command line, as set out in the tutorial which Bill indicated.

Be careful not to overlook the folder change to "desktop-integration" and the repeated sudo command.

Thanks. It is working now. Just the little "*" did it then repeat the installation.
What does the * do ?

It is a regular expression like in plenty other applications. It stands for "anything, be it one or several characters".

The libreoffice* says to include all files which start with libreoffice and have any other characters after that.

I think it's a shell pattern rather than regular expression.

Include all packages which start with libreoffice.

Indeed, you're right Villeroy. I chose to remain very general.
In the shell context, that symbol for a common regular expression is a bit more powerful.
