I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64bit) with Libreoffice removed and Openoffice 4.1.0 installed.
My package system is broken and I can't install or un-install anything until I've fixed the problem. I've searched ask-ubuntu and read many 'solutions' to broken dependencies, none of which seem to help my predicament.
Here is what I did to get into the current impasse.
I tried to install the gnome desktop using "Software Center" but I had not realised the desktop installation also attempted to install Libreoffice. Part way through the installation the process spat out an error and stopped. Using "sudo apt-get install -f" gives the output below.
I would like to fix the dependencies so that I can get rid of the broken Libreoffice installation but I don't know where to start.
sudo apt-get install -f

These are the broken dependencies:
libreoffice-core: Depends: libreoffice-common (> 1:4.4.3~rc2) but it is not installed
libreoffice-help-en-us: Depends: libreoffice-l10n-en-us but it is a virtual package
libreoffice-l10n-en-gb: Depends: libreoffice-common but it is not installed

Following this thread and do next:
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/* -vf
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
if required:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libreoffice
or purge it and install it back with:
sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
