LO 5.2 beta won't install on Linux x64

I run into dependency problems on Linux Lite 3.0 (ubuntu 16.04). Here’s the synopsis:

Errors were encountered while

Here’s a little bit of the details:
dpkg: error processing package lodevbasis5.2-ooofonts (–install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of lodevbasis5.2-ooolinguistic:
lodevbasis5.2-ooolinguistic depends on lodevbasis5.2-core (>= 5.2.0.0.beta1); however:
Package lodevbasis5.2-core is not installed.
lodevbasis5.2-ooolinguistic depends on lodevbasis5.2-core (<= 5.2.0.0.beta1-1); however:
Package lodevbasis5.2-core is not installed.

Is there any expedient way to supply the dependencies?

Thanks.

it looks like a circular reference to me.
have you tried installing the dependencies one by one before?

TL;DR solution: run this in the DEBS directory:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite *.de

I had the same problem. Installing via the “Graphic installation” doesn’t work either:

.deb install fails silently

I’ve reported this as a bug in gnome-software.

Here’s a workaround, the quick way to supply dependencies:

sudo apt-get -f install ; sudo dpkg -i *.deb

As to why this is required as of 2016, beats me.

However, even after running those commands, I still couldn’t launch any of the components. Details in the bug I’ve filed about this.

Thanks, I’m glad to see the problem is known. This doesn’t solve my own problem though. Not sure why, but maybe because the 5.2 beta install is a bunch of separate packages. Previously 5.2 showed up on my main menu, but now there’s not even that. Frustrating. Will look at bug.

edit: confirmed bug and added myself to CC list.
