Just in case it hasn't been mentioned before, this will resolve the dependencies automatically:

Code:

apt-get install -t squeeze-backports libreoffice

background:
By default the backports repository has a lower pinning priority than the regular stable repository so apt will try to resolve any dependencies from the stable repository, even if there is a newer version in backports. Only if there's no package with the required name at all in the stable repository the backports repository will be used. In this case that means that regardless of the insufficient version number ure will be taken from the stable repository because it exists there.
-t (target) changes that behavior by giving the specified repository the highest pinning priority for this one command. Thus -t squeeze-backports means: Resolve any dependencies by using the squeeze-backports repository if possible, fetch the rest from whatever repository among all the others has the highest pinning priority.
In our case this means ure (and any other dependency that exists in the backports) will be installed from squeeze-backports. Therefore -t squeeze-backports SHOULD be used whenever you explicitely want to install anything from backports.

I'm struggling around with the locales in ED.

apt-get upgrade and dpkg-reconfigure localeconf shows this output:

Code:

[root@m5sulu: /]dpkg-reconfigure localeconf
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset),
        LC_ALL = (unset),

        LC_MONETARY = "de_DE",
        LC_NUMERIC = "de_DE",
        LC_TELEPHONE = "de_DE",
        LC_MESSAGES = "de_DE",
        LC_IDENTIFICATION = "de_DE",
        LC_MEASUREMENT = "de_DE",
        LC_TIME = "de_DE",
        LC_NAME = "de_DE",
        LANG = "de_DE"
    are supported and installed on your system.

locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory

Package `localeconf' is not installed and no info is available.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

Setting LANGUAGE and LC_ALL works temporary for apt-get upgrade until next chroot login.

Code:

[root@m5sulu: /]export LANGUAGE="de_DE"
[root@m5sulu: /]export LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF8"

Is it advisable to change this manualy, or is there a better way? And if so could anybody give me a tip where to set this variables permanent?

Edit:
These settings don't work very well, some symbols and ä ö ü for example are displayed wrong. Trying to get this sorted .....

sulu, thanks for that! Works perfectly.

@eight
I'm experiencing same issue, but I haven't seen any situation, where symbols or my language special characters (pl_PL) - ą ć ś ó ę ł ż ź ń etc - aren't working properly.

where exactly You face actual problems? Would like to check it myself.

What are you trying to achieve with that? There is no package localeconf in the Debian repositories so that can't work.
Do you mean?:

Code:

dpkg-reconfigure locales

Sorry I meant:

Code:

dpkg-reconfigure locales

Copied from the wrong Browse-tab I think.
Though it shows me the same warning.

And the same warning occurs when doing apt-get upgrade

After adding

"apt-get upgrade" works.

Ok, now (I think) I know what's going on. I once accidentally added all possible locales to my Easy Debian images, which took a lot of space. So I deleted most of them and only kept de_DE.UTF-8 (UTF-8 is the default encoding in Linux and therefore Easy Debian) and the en and us locales for fallback reasons.
Maemo however uses ISO-8859 locales (e.g. de_DE). Since my Easy Debian image no longer has the ISO-8859 locale any locale-dependent application that gets the Maemo locale throws warnings. I have them too but since it's not critical I simply didn't care for it. I just installed de_DE in Easy Debian via dpkg-reconfigure (but kept the UTF-8 locale as the default) and the warnings are gone.

So to get rid of your warnings look up what your Maemo locale looks like and install it in Easy Debian. For Estel that would mean Maemo most likely has pl_PL. If he uses my Easy Debian image he doesn't have that locale so he should select that in dpkg-reconfigure. While doing that it might also be useful to add pl_PL.UTF-8 as the Easy Debian's default locale.

Thanks, but I'm not using Your image - except for /user/share/X11/xkb directory, which is entirely took from your image.

Anyway, I remember trying to reconfigure locales and selecting pl_PL variants (both ISO and UTF), yet I still have this error. will try again and report back.

OTOH, I tried what qole suggested, and did chown user:users to '/home/user/'libreoffice'. Yet, it still fail to start from user, and does so only from root. i'll try apt-get purge, manually get rid of leftovers, install again and avoid starting it from root - maybe it's going to help.

I'm just worried a little about leftovers from openoffice.org in 'debian' script used by debbie. I would love to get rid of those if they're not required anymore, but unfortunately, i'm not specialist in creating chroots, and qole seems to have other priorities than upgrading everything for LibreOffice.

On the third hand

I haven't had any issues using LibreOffice as is, so everyone who don't want to use depreciated and outdated OpenOffice can safely upgrade.

/Estel

// edit

I've also did apt-get upgrade -t squeeze-backports, and everything seems to be working fine (of course pulseaudio is held back like in sulu's first tutorial).

Thank you, that did it.
After selecting "de_DE ISO-8859-1" at dpkg-reconfigure and staying with "de_DE UTF-8" as default the warnings are gone.

Thought in the first place it could tend to problems with uprades, even better that it's not critical and can be irgnored.
