[SOLVED] How to Upgrade Open Office Version
Hi!
I made a document in my Mint partition using open office version 3 and saved it in my storage bin.
After sending the same document by email using my debian lenny, the receivers found no figures in the tables (i was sending a statement of account for collection purposes)
I checked and opened the documents through my Mint, and found that everything is there.
I opened the same documents using Debian Lenny and the figures really do not show.
So I think the problem lies with my encoding the figures using a new version (3) of open office and then sending it using an older version (2.4).
May I please ask for help how I can upgrade my open office in lenny to version 3 and above please? And perhaps also make an upgrade of most of the softwares I have in lenny.
I tried below but was not quite successful.
Thank you in advance!Code:jun@debian:~$ sudo install upgrade openoffice install: cannot stat `upgrade': No such file or directory jun@debian:~$ jun@debian:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade openoffice Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. jun@debian:~$

1) I added the suggested line /etc/apt/sources.list
2) Executed the below and got an error.Code:jun@debian:~$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
3) So I tried to use wget (now this one is just a wild guess)Code:[sudo] password for jun: jun@debian:~$ sudo apt-get install debian-backports-keyring Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package debian-backports-keyring
4) Executed this as instructed by the guide. (I think i'm already lost at this point)Code:jun@debian:~$ sudo wget http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/debian-backports-keyring --2009-11-13 23:19:07-- http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/debian-backports-keyring Resolving packages.debian.org... 87.106.64.223 Connecting to packages.debian.org|87.106.64.223|:80... connected.

This is fine, but you would need to download the actual package and you wouldn't use apt to install, but dpkg.3) So I tried to use wget (now this one is just a wild guess)
Code:cd ~ wget http://www.backports.org/debian/pool/main/d/debian-backports-keyring/debian-backports-keyring_2009.02.20_all.deb su -c 'dpkg -i debian-backports-keyring_2009.02.20_all.deb'

Remember, the dash after su puts you in /root, so you are no longer in the same directory as the downloaded package.jun@debian:~$ su -
