LibreOffice 7.0.1 broken installation
I have downloaded the recent version ( 7.0.1) of LibreOffice. The problem is when I am trying to install, it is not installing properly.
How I am installing it?
I have extracted the LibreOffice installer ZIP file, enter in the DEBS
folder, and executing all packages by using the following command sudo dpkg -i *.deb
After running the command it encounters some following errors
dpkg-deb (subprocess): decompressing archive member: lzma error: compressed data is corrupt
dpkg-deb: error: <decompress> subprocess returned error exit status 2
dpkg: error processing archive libobasis7.0-core_7.0.1.2-2_amd64.deb (--install):
cannot copy extracted data for './opt/libreoffice7.0/program/libbiblo.so' to '/opt/libreoffice7.0/program/libbiblo.so.dpkg-new': unexpected end of file or stream
Same dpkg
error for the other packages too like calc, draw
dpkg: error processing package libobasis7.0-base (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libobasis7.0-calc:
libobasis7.0-calc depends on libobasis7.0-core (>= 7.0.1.2); however:
Package libobasis7.0-core is not installed.
libobasis7.0-calc depends on libobasis7.0-core (<= 7.0.1.2-2); however:
Package libobasis7.0-core is not installed.
At last it shows

I can see the LibreOffice entries in the menu item, but unable to launch them
Now, when I am trying to uninstall them, ( sudo apt-get purge libreoffice-core
) I am getting the following error
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libobasis7.0-base : Depends: libobasis7.0-core (>= 7.0.1.2) but it is not installable

How can I fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Try this:
Download the LibreOffice packages again, suppose they are downloaded at ~ / Downloads.
https://ftp.nluug.nl/office/libreoffice/libreoffice/stable/7.0.1/deb/x86_64/LibreOffice_7.0.1_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz
https://ftp.nluug.nl/office/libreoffice/libreoffice/stable/7.0.1/deb/x86_64/LibreOffice_7.0.1_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-GB.tar.gz
https://ftp.nluug.nl/office/libreoffice/libreoffice/stable/7.0.1/deb/x86_64/LibreOffice_7.0.1_Linux_x86-64_deb_langpack_en-GB.tar.gz
Then run in a terminal
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt remove --purge libreoffice*
sudo apt remove --purge libobasis*
sudo apt autoremove
cd ~/Downloads
for x in *.tar.gz; do tar xfv $x; done
sudo dpkg -i LibreOffice_*/DEBS/*.deb
You have chosen very difficult method. It is unnecessary.
“LibreOffice Packaging” team have a PPA, to install LibO 7.0 packages use:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-7-0
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
