I have not had success using Kubuntu 14.04 (x86_64). Calligra is still pulling from the Universe repo (version 2.8.1). Have you tested this on 14.04?
ReplyDeleteI just checked and Ubuntu 14.04 does not have Calligra in backports. Ubuntu 13.10 and 13.04 only have 2.8.2. It seems your blog post was in error.
