The repo you provided is just what was needed. The integration package could not be installed directly as it was complaining about dependency issues. For the record I had to remove the installed version of LO, then disable all repos except for libreoffice-tde-sb Once it was possible to see the all the tde0 packages in synaptic I then re-enabled all the normal repos and could install using the trinity-tde integration package So all is now well and LO looks like it should. Thank you very much for your help.
