*ditto!* Kinda-sorta. The two in my case are not going to be
installed. This is coming from having just fully updated/upgraded
yesterday, and now today encountered the largest number of new
upgrades necessary yet. When I attempted to upgrade, this popped up:
+ + +
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libreoffice-core : Depends: libboost-date-time1.55.0 but it is not
going to be installed
Depends: libcmis-0.5-5 but it is not going to be installed

That part about "you have held broken packages" usually tells me it's
about something outside the scope of the single repository I used. I
then make an executive decision whether or not to continue with the
affected install (by temporarily pulling from other repositories).
It's not the case this time. Just for kicks before doing anything
else, I tried installing and received this back (for both):
+ + +
libboost-date-time1.55.0 is already the newest version.
libboost-date-time1.55.0 set to manually installed.
libcmis-0.5-5 is already the newest version.
libcmis-0.5-5 set to manually installed.

Got the bright idea to attempt the upgrade without libreoffice-core =
nope, not gonna happen:
+ + +
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libreoffice : Depends: libreoffice-core (= 1:4.4.5-2) but it is not
going to be installed
libreoffice-avmedia-backend-gstreamer : Depends: libreoffice-core but
it is not going to be installed
libreoffice-base : Depends: libreoffice-core (= 1:4.4.5-2) but it is
not going to be installed
libreoffice-base-core : Depends: libreoffice-core (= 1:4.4.5-2) but
it is not going to be installed

going to be installed

not going to be installed

libreoffice-impress : Depends: libreoffice-core (= 1:4.4.5-2) but it
is not going to be installed
libreoffice-math : Depends: libreoffice-core (= 1:4.4.5-2) but it is
not going to be installed
libreoffice-report-builder-bin : Depends: libreoffice-core but it is
not going to be installed
libreoffice-sdbc-firebird : Depends: libreoffice-core but it is not

libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb : Depends: libreoffice-core but it is not

libreoffice-writer : Depends: libreoffice-core (= 1:4.4.5-2) but it

python3-uno : Depends: libreoffice-core (= 1:4.4.5-2) but it is not
going to be installed

So then I decided to "cherry pick" my installs by leaving out
libreoffice for last. I received this message:
+ + +

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

So that's what I ALMOST did. And received this back:

ACK! It's additionally going to completely remove libreoffice. I'm
done. I quit. I call "uncle". I'm throwing in the towel. Plan B is
I'll just upgrade everything but libreoffice for now then attempt
libreoffice by itself afterward to see if the error disappears. It'll
be a while before I know because that's some 75MB of upgrade on
dialup.
Closing this with a disclosure: This is the first time I've 'fessed
this up but had actually intended to approach this specifically as its
own topic. I "install" rather than "upgrade". I understand how that
would make things different. It would potentially delete and replace
whole/all files/directories rather than simply plug in tidbits here
and there.
Taking the "install" route has been my ongoing *_CHOICE_* all this
time, though, because I don't EVER run into the upgrade problems so
many others do. Today is the FIRST TIME I can remember ever hitting a
wall....
If anyone has questions specific to mine, my apologies but I won't be
around computer all day. Going back out to wrangle that fallen Hickory
tree again..
Cindy :)
