Some time ago I installed LO on my linux Mint box by downloading installation files from your web page.
All was good until recently when I did an OS upgrade, the folk at Linux Mint told me I will have problems with anything that I’ve installed without using the provided ‘software manager’ application.
So I decided to remove LO and re-install it using the correct software manager application.
Now I’m stuck without ANY LO as the remove worked, but the installation will not work.
I get the following errors:

I’ve tried all the usual commands including :-
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get --purge remove libreoffice*
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt --fix-broken install
(not necessarily in that order!)
None of these solve the problem…
Can anyone help?
