Hello,

I'm using Debian Jessie 8.2 with jessie-backports in my sources list. Simple configuration, I'm
pretty sure, I'm not the only one having issues now.
Because of the buggy small display of the LibreOffice Calc sheets I updated to Libreoffice Version
4.4.5.2 from jessie-backports.
Yesterday I wanted to dist-upgrade my system and it wanted to upgrade the jessie-backport
libreoffice to the new 5.0.1 Version.
But for a weird reason it wants to remove the metapackages "gnome" and "libreoffice-gnome". Why ?
I already had to get used that I can't remove any of the packages included in the metapackage
"gnome" or others as dependency, without the package manager wanting to remove the whole
metapackage. Hard enough this "take everything or nothing" mentality of gnome in Debian.
But in this case I don't know the reason why it wants to remove the gnome metapackage.

I'm pretty sure it's a bug with a wrong packaging of Libreoffice 5.0.1. Maybe a missing dependency
so it breaks the gnome-metapackage ?

Can you please tell me what to do or forward this issue to the libreoffice package responsible in
jessie-backports ?

Thanks

Regards,
Mark
