Sigh.

That is expected, all .ui Files moved to the respective packages.

Which? As at the time of your report the amd64 binaries now containing the UI Files were not in the archive proper?

Here we see the arch-indep packages at 6.4.2...

>ii  ure                        1:6.4.1-1+b1

And as expected the arch-dep packages at 6.4.1.
I would guess libreoffice-writer and -core etc are also at 6.4.1..

>ii  libreoffice-core         1:6.4.1-1+b1

As guessed.

And -core does depend on a 6.4.2 package, but indeed -common misses a Breaks: to 6.4.1 packages..

(This could not have happened some time ago because common also had a versioned dependency on core but people don't like circular dependencies...)

In any case, upgrade with the amd64 binaries and it should work.

Will add the Breaks: of course..

Regards

Rene
