Não consegui esclarecer isso com várias sugestões (descobertas pelo google) na linha de comando e no synaptic. Alguma idéia para corrigir isso?
Os pacotes libreoffice-common e openoffice-debian-menus contêm o arquivo /usr/bin/soffice , então apenas um deles pode ser instalado por vez.
Atualmente você tem openoffice-debian-menus instalado, mas como não é um pacote oficial do Ubuntu, sugiro removê-lo usando
sudo apt-get remove openoffice-debian-menus
