Is there a PPA with the latest version of LibreOffice?

How can I reproduce the error “package… needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it†for testing?
1 answer
I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and LibreOffice recently upgraded into version 16.0.0. When I want to do another software installation via apt-get, I got an error as follows:
E: The package libobasis5.3-base needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
As far as I remember the previous version of LibreOffice was 5.3.4 and it has been removed about a month ago.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? The following steps have been done, but they did not resolve the problem yet.
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo dpkg --clear-avail && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*

This is very odd. The version of LibreOffice in 16.04 is 5.1.6, it hasn't been removed, and version 16.0.0 has not been released. You must be on an unsupported release, or have some PPAs added.

@mikewhatever Perhaps OP meant libreoffice 6.0 which was recently released. The only way to get this (as a package) though is via its PPA.

The packagelibobasis5.3-baseis not provided by any repositories (which is why Apt "can't find an archive for it"). It is found in the DEB downloads from libreoffice.org. Since LibreOffice 5.3 is EOL, you have to dig it from here.
