Re-installing Xarchiver; Fixing broken filter in Synaptic Package Manager

(1/2) > >>

N4RPS:
Hello!

You're welcome. No trouble at all.

Valtam's answer is the best one for this issue. Thanks for the assist!

It's always best to use Synaptic or the Software Manager to install software if you can.  in addition to the main program, Synaptic and the Software Manager also gather up all the needed dependencies, which avoids broken packages and a messed-up system that requires reinstallation to fix.

Been there, done that...

Rob,

Latest version of LibreOffice is now installed. I found it useful to also run the command, "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". Thanks for all your help and patience on this matter.

Jerry:
Please use the LibreOffice PPA if you want the latest.


--- Code: ---sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get upgrade
--- End code ---

Rob,

The DEBS folder has 51 .deb files. Which one (ones) do I select to have Gdebi package installer open?

N4RPS:
Hello!

DEB (.deb) packages can be installed with GDebi Package Installer. If you right-click on the .deb and you see 'GDebi' as an option, select it. If you DON'T see a GDebi entry when right-clicking on the .deb, it's easy enough to install:


--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install gdebi
--- End code ---
