[Josep Lladonosa i Capell <jlladono@gmail.com>]

Source: libreoffice
Version: partial upgrade to 6.4.2-2~bpo10+1 version due to libreoffice-math 6.3.2-1~bpo10+1 conflict
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


I was trying to upgrade Debian 10 to 10.3 and libreoffice upgrade could not
finish correctly.

Conflict was caused by libreoffice-math 6.4.2-2~bpo10+1 that was trying to get
installed with the same existing package 1:6.3.2-1~bpo10+1x.

Error during the upgrade session:

In order to solve this situation I did:

sudo dpkg -r libreoffice-math
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt install libreoffice-math

After that, all libreoffice got fully updated.
