Hi,[I'm not quite sure whether this is properly a -backports question or a -user question; feel free to redirect me. Sending this here first because of "Bugs: mailto:debian-backports@lists.debian.org" on the relevant packages.]
I have these jessie-backports libreoffice packages installed: $ dpkg-query -W | grep ^libreoffice libreoffice-base-core 1:5.0.5~rc2-1~bpo8+2 libreoffice-calc 1:5.0.5~rc2-1~bpo8+2 libreoffice-common 1:5.0.5~rc2-1~bpo8+2 libreoffice-core 1:5.0.5~rc2-1~bpo8+2 libreoffice-style-tango 1:5.0.2-1~bpo8+1 libreoffice-writer 1:5.0.5~rc2-1~bpo8+2The problem is that apt claims that the newer versions of libreoffice-style-tango are not installable.

Where are the Breaks it is talking about? libreoffice-common has Breaks: ..., libreoffice-style-galaxy (>= 1:5.1~), libreoffice-style-galaxy (<< 1:5.0~), ...neither of which (AFAICT) matches 1:5.0.5~rc2-1~bpo8+2, and libreoffice-style-galaxy has no Breaks.
I can also reproduce this in a clean jessie schroot with just the backports repository added. If you just say
apt-get install libreoffice-style-galaxy it chooses the older (4.x) version; if you say apt-get install libreoffice-style-galaxy=1:5* it chokes as above (broken libreoffice-common). Any hints? thanks, Ryan
