Good morning,
I am using Debian 7. I "upgraded" from 6 recently. My attempt to
install the open office productivity suite seems to have failed.
While synaptic indicates it is installed, I cannot find it on the
reall bad new GUI. Also, I noted that none of the applications like
writer indicate they are installed. Do I need to install each of them
manually?
OpenOffice was replaced by LibreOffice [1], this migration normally
occurs automatically on upgrades from Squeeze.
Make sure the package 'libreoffice' is installed, this will pull in
Writer, Calc, etc.
If you are using Gnome 3, you can find the application in the activities
menu under applications - Office.

Steven
