For me 'apt-get install -t squeeze-backports libreoffice' results in:
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
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-core (= 1:3.3.2-2~bpo60+1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libreoffice-writer but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libreoffice-calc but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libreoffice-impress but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libreoffice-draw but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libreoffice-math but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libreoffice-base but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libreoffice-report-builder-bin but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libreoffice-filter-mobiledev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libreoffice-java-common (>= 1:3.3.2~) but it is not going to be installed
I traced this to my /etc/apt/apt.conf containing 'APT::Install-Recommends "false";',
but I don't fully understand why that causes this problem.
If this problem cannot be fixed is should be mentioned in the above paragraph.
