This question sparks from a bug report on LibreOffice forum. Yes, I know much of the functionality of Lotus Symphony was supposedly incorporated into OO about the time LO split off. This question isn't about that. I'm looking for someone who has a copy of the actual .deb squirreled away. It's no longer on my NAS. Yes, I have set up 8.04 32-bit LTS, 12, and a few other "vintage" 32-bit (IBM only release 32-bit Debian). I did so because of this.

We will also be making IBM Lotus Symphony available too, packaged up for an easy install through the Ubuntu Add / Remove software tool. Symphony is IBM’s driver for acceptance of a free and open alternative to the ubiquitous Microsoft Office.

Yes, I have edited sources.list and pointed back to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ for all of the main entries. What doesn't seem to exist is an "old-releases" directory for any of the "partner" software.

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from Canonical's
## 'partner' repository.
## This software is not part of Ubuntu, but is offered by Canonical and the
## respective vendors as a service to Ubuntu users.
# deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
# deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner

So, this question is in two parts.

  1. Is there an "archive.canonical.com" for 8.04 or 10.4 today and is that where IBM Lotus Symphony was parked for the installer?
  2. does anyone have a .deb from one of the versions laying around?

Thank you.

  1. AFAIK there is no public archive of the partner repository from Canonical.
  2. The Internet Archive seems to have some files in http://web.archive.org/web/20110721220655/http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/s/symphony/.

The 64-bit 3.0 version is in archive https://web.archive.org/web/20120310100733/http://www.photofiltre-lx.org/symphony_3.0-1_maverick_amd64.deb.

I'm only answering late is because I have been searching for this version and this question/answer kept coming up in my searches.
