Re: dependency problem: openoffice vs scilab

When you said: " i need both packages", which packages do you refer?
To install openoffice-base, shouldn't have a conflict.
If you want to install scilab, first remove java, then try again.

Just uninstall saxon and install java-saxon6?

Afaik no Arch package requires saxon.

pacman -R saxon

I need openoffice and scilab.

Maybe uninstall openoffice-base and saxon, then install java-saxon6, then openoffice-base?

Re: dependency problem: openoffice vs scilab

Try scilab5-bin 5.2.1-1 from the AUR.  I have openoffice-base 3.1.0-2 installed from extra and I just installed the AUR scilab5-bin package as a test.  I had no problems with the installation using 'makepkg -s' and 'pacman -U'.    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19884

I did this too, so try that.

Yeah, this helped! Thank you all for this, now I can work both in scilab and in office and I don't need two computers neither reinstalling packages
