+        Untaring the libreoffice-core-3.5.2.2 tarball as

of

+        to a user with numerical id 11012 and with the permissions set to allow
+        read, write and execute for that user only! If you untared as
+        <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> in your home folder you
+        could end up unable to log in again. If you untared it in
+        <filename class="directory">/usr</filename> you would find your user
