Using the default packages of OOo.org instead of the ditribution ones
Ubuntu/Debian
I like to use the official packages of openoffice due to a mixed computer environment. This is the only way to assure same funcitonality and certification. But I run into trouble doing this.
Download
Download the packages from openoffice.org and extract them into a directory. The package names may vary to depending to your version and download:
tar xzvf OOo_2.3.0_LinuxIntel_install_de_deb.tar.gz cd OOG680_m5_native_packed-1_de.9221
Naturally, if I like to install the packages provided by openoffice.org in ubuntu/debian via dpkg, i get an error:
# dpkg -i openoffice.org-* dpkg - warning: downgrading openoffice.org-base from 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu2 to 2.3.0-5. dpkg: regarding openoffice.org-base_2.3.0-5_i386.deb containing openoffice.org-base: openoffice.org-base conflicts with openoffice.org-bundled
Remove distribution packages
That's why I have to uninstall the ubuntu openoffice org packages:
# apt-get remove openoffice.org-common The following packages will be REMOVED: openoffice.org openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-common openoffice.org-core openoffice.org-draw openoffice.org-gnome openoffice.org-gtk openoffice.org-help-de openoffice.org-impress openoffice.org-java-common openoffice.org-l10n-de openoffice.org-math openoffice.org-report-builder openoffice.org-style-human openoffice.org-style-industrial openoffice.org-style-tango openoffice.org-thesaurus-de openoffice.org-writer python-uno 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 20 to remove and 2 not upgraded. After unpacking 275MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y [...]
I am than able to install the packages:
# dpkg -i openoffice.org-* Selecting previously deselected package openoffice.org-base. (Reading database ... 316754 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking openoffice.org-base (from openoffice.org-base_2.3.0-5_i386.deb) ... Selecting previously deselected package openoffice.org-calc. Unpacking openoffice.org-calc (from openoffice.org-calc_2.3.0-5_i386.deb) ... [...]
Configure apt for unattended upgrades
If I then upgrade my machine, ubuntu tries to uninstall my openoffice packages and upgrades them to the distribution ones.
So I have to manually edit the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades. Add the part Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist followed by a list of packages - one per line. This list is surrounded by {...}-brackets. Don't forget the quotation marks around the package name and the semicolon (;) at the end of each line.
Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist { // "package_with_is_commented_out"; "package_name-will_be_not_upgraded"; };
Let's do it:
vim /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades // allowed (origin, archive) pairs Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins { "Ubuntu gutsy-security"; // "Ubuntu gutsy-updates"; }; // never update the packages in this list Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist { // "vim"; "openoffice.org-bundled"; "openoffice.org"; "openoffice.org-base"; "openoffice.org-common"; "openoffice.org-hyphenation"; };
Test it
When I then try to update, the system won't bother any more:
# apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages have been kept back: openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-draw openoffice.org-headless openoffice.org-impress openoffice.org-math openoffice.org-writer
TIP
You can use this to hinder ubuntu/debian from automatic kernel updates ;)
Troubleshooting
If you are going to make a distribution upgrade, it might happen, that ubuntu uninstalls the packages. You have to install them again.
