That one gave me some errors, but I could uninstall Apache OpenOffice
and LibreOffice now, at least.

Something is still wrong though (translated to English with Google Translate):
~ $ sudo apt-get autoremove
Reading package lists ... Finished
Building dependency tree
Reading state information ... Finished
You should run "apt-get-f install" to correct these.
The following packages have dependencies that can not be satisfied:
  libreoffice-core: Depends: libreoffice-common (> 1:3.5.7) but it is
not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try with -f.
~$ sudo apt-get -f install
