[SOLVED] libreoffice installation in Ceres:

I am very happy running Ceres on my desktop after running Debian Sid for 10+ years
Only thing I was missing was the libreoffice suite which wouldn't want to install because of dependencies.

apt-get --no-install-recommends install libreoffice

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
 
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libreoffice : Depends: libreoffice-base but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: libreoffice-calc but it is not going to be installed

After consulting the IRC channel, i decided to see how far I could come with installing (parts) from Debian Sid

mkdir /var/tmp/lo
cd /var/tmp/lo

i used https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages to find the first packages that wouldn't install on ceres
i use "wget" to get the individual packages eg :

wget [url]http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libr/libreoffice/libreoffice-base-drivers_5.4.2-3_amd64.deb[/url]

I downloaded the following packages for my amd64 system

root@imac27:/var/tmp/lo# ls -l
total 29564
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   261594 Oct 11 10:44 fonts-opensymbol_102.10+LibO5.4.2-3_all.deb

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   872132 Oct 10 18:15 uno-libs3_5.4.2-3_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  1703754 Oct 10 18:15 ure_5.4.2-3_amd64.deb

Than I installed them using this:

dpkg --force-depends -i *deb

then I was able to install the rest from devuan:

#apt-get install libreoffice

Hope this helps other people who engage on an adventure in Ceres ;-)
