Hi all,  
Whenever I have tried to install the security update for libreoffice, it display the following message,  
“nothing provides libreoffice = 3.5.4.13 needed by libreoffice-help-en-US-3.5.4.13-0.3.1.noarch”

Can any one please help me to solve this issue.

Yep, same here.

[CODE]mine:~ # zypper up -y -l libreoffice-help-en-GB

Problem: nothing provides libreoffice = 3.5.4.13 needed by libreoffice-help-en-GB-3.5.4.13-0.3.1.noarch  
Solution 1: do not install libreoffice-help-en-GB-3.5.4.13-0.3.1.noarch  
Solution 2: break libreoffice-help-en-GB-3.5.4.13-0.3.1.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c): c

I just came to the forums to see if anyone else had mentioned it. I can’t find mention of the issue in the behind the scenes places I have access to, I’ll see if I can bring it to attention of relevant people.

Just a note to say this issue is apparently being looked at.

I’m getting the following error on my SLED system when I try to install the latest libreoffice patch on SLED 11 SP2 x64:  
PackageKit Error dep-resolution-failed: libreoffice-3.4.2.6-0.28.1.x86\_64 requires libreoffice-icon-themes = 3.4.2.6, but this requirement cannot be provided

According to YaST the currently installed version is 3.4.2.6-0.8.9 & the only other available version is 3.5.4.13-0.3.1-noarch from SLED11-SP2 updates
