Trying to install 6.0.4.2 on Linux Mint 18.3 with GB help file. (I prefer local help for when I’m not online - yes there are a few of us that live disconnected at times).
Don’t want to use Flatpak so please, no suggestions in this direction.
I’ve poked and prodded a bit but I’ve reached the point where I don’t know if I missed doing something or whether the installation dependencies are actually wrong. Any pointers gratefully received to get the help file installed properly.
Here’s what I did:
- Uninstalled the distro version of LO and purged config files.
- Downloaded 6.0.4.2 64 bit
- Installed using dpkg
The applications work fine, but the local help shows as not installed within the applications.
However when I go to install the 6.0-en-gb help file I get
rick@tardismint ~/Downloads/LibreOffice_6.0.4.2_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-GB/DEBS $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Try using -f.Which squares with the content of the control file in the help .deb
