Ubuntu
software-center package

Where is the package "openoffice.org-thesaurus" ?

Asked by Jim McKean

My Ubuntu 10.10 install of OpenOffice does not have the thesaurus installed. I looked it up in the Software Center and found the package "openoffice.org-thesaurus" referred to in the openoffice suite's "more information" section. See the section on "You can extend the functionality of OpenOffice by installing..."

The package does not seem to be available in the Software Center or via apt-get. Is there an Ubuntu-approved version in the repos somewhere or do I go back to OO.org? If so, I think the instructions in the Software Center need to be clarified.

Packages are available via apt-get or Synaptic.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=openoffice.org-thesaurus

Please also try
system administration -> language support

It usually installs automatically missing packages.

Oh, I see needed to -en-us to the package name for my language. Duh!

Still should make these more easily visible in Software Center or clarify the instructions.
