Broken Installation file for xubuntu jaunty?

Asked by Tony Sauri

I am trying to install Openoffice into my near new Xubuntu Jaunty system.
After entering the OO project ppa info into software sources and trying to install with "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org" I get this result:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tartarus@austin:~$ sudo apt-get install openoffice.org

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  openoffice.org: Depends: openoffice.org-core (= 1:3.1.1-1ubuntu1~jaunty1) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: openoffice.org-writer but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: openoffice.org-calc but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: openoffice.org-impress but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: openoffice.org-draw but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: openoffice.org-math but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: openoffice.org-base but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: openoffice.org-report-builder-bin but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: openoffice.org-officebean but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: openoffice.org-filter-mobiledev but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: openoffice.org-java-common (> 2.2.0-4) but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: openoffice.org-filter-binfilter but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Further investigation seems to lead me into a dependency hell!

For instance openoffice.org-core Depends on libneon27. Searching the jaunty repositories I have found libneon26 but not libneon27.

Can you shed some light on this situation please.

are you sure your repositories are correct?

I have now compared the /etc/etc/sources.list file from 2 different jaunty distributions (Mythbuntu and Xubuntu) and found substantial differences.

I will now go and resolve these differences which I am sure wil explain the earlier problems I had.

Thanks to Daniel for the suggestion.

The file reference should have been /etc/apt/sources.list
