Me encontré con un error al intentar remover un paquete en Debian… el cual tenía que ver con los diccionarios… pero busqué en los reportes de errores de Libreoffice, ahora en adelante LO, los cuales me dieron información de como solucionar los molestos errores que arrojaba Aptitude, APT y Synaptic.

Al realizar la limpieza de esos paquetes, APT dirá que no hay nada en la ubicación de esos paquetes y te permitirá su desinstalación, yo los he removido sin problemas y comencé a usar los paquetes de la versión más reciente que tengo a mis manos, LO 3.6.1.2.
