Help please with removing Libreoffice

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Because of the problem where the repo version of Libreoffice does not have the UK English UI I want to remove this version and install the RPMs from the website. Running Apper I selected all the Libreoffice packages and tried running the remove for all of them, however Apper gives a very unhelpful message saying a package could not be removed because of a dependancy, however it gives no details at all - not very helpful at all. How can I find out exactly what I need to remove in order to be able to install the correct packages with the correct language UI? Stuart (HowTos)

Which package should I remove to completely remove libreoffice? I have no need for office tools.

That's the one gripe I have with package managers like apt, there's no simple way to perform the essential task of removing unwanted software :S

Hello, I don't want either LibreOffice or Abiword on one of my Ubuntu (12.04) boxes. When I try to uninstall LibreOffice then apt-get automatically installs Abiword. Of course, Synaptic and Aptitude do the same, while dpkg simply refuses to remove several core LibreOffice packages because of certain ridiculous dependencies based off Gnome. This just doesn't seem right.

Strange...My computer crashed after an electrial outage. When I got it up again I reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04. Then I tried to install LibreOffice. I removed OpenOffice, as required, and took the steps necessary to install it. Steps that I have taken a few times before.
