libreoffice version conflict?

[Stan Schymanski]

OK, thanks a lot! I followed the instructions but because of the missing
key that I had not seen, I re-did bits and may have created a bit of a
mess in my sources.list.d, which I pasted below. Please let me know if
you see anything that needs fixing.

Here is the output of apt policy:

$ apt policy libreoffice-java-common
libreoffice-java-common:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:6.1.5-3+deb10u6progress5u1

Here are the contents of sources.list.d:

stan:~$ sudo ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
debian.list  google-chrome.list  progress-linux.list  teams.list

$ sudo more /etc/apt/sources.list.d/progress-linux.list

Unfortunately, your suggested solution did not work, as `sudo dpkg
--force-all -P libreoffice-java-common libreoffice-common` gave a lot of
warnings in the sort of:
dpkg: libreoffice-common: dependency problems, but removing anyway as
you requested:
 python3-uno depends on libreoffice-common (>= 1:7.0.0~alpha~).
 libreoffice-writer depends on libreoffice-common (>= 1:7.0.0~alpha~).

Then, `sudo apt install libreoffice-java-common libreoffice-common`
apparently tried to install LO6.1.5 it seems:

$ sudo apt install libreoffice-java-common libreoffice-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libreoffice-calc : Depends: libreoffice-common (>= 1:7.0.0~alpha~) but
1:6.1.5-3+deb10u6progress5u1 is to be installed
                    Breaks: libreoffice-common (< 1:6.4.2~rc1~) but
1:6.1.5-3+deb10u6progress5u1 is to be installed
 libreoffice-common : Depends: libreoffice-style-tango but it is not
going to be installed
                      Breaks: libreoffice-core (>= 1:6.2~) but
1:7.0.0-1~progress5+u1 is to be installed
 libreoffice-core : Depends: libreoffice-common (> 1:7.0.0) but
1:6.1.5-3+deb10u6progress5u1 is to be installed

...and so on, finishing with:
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages
(or specify a solution).

I suspect that if I try --fix-broken install, I will make the confusion
complete. How can I sort out this mess?

Cheers
Stan
