Did Ubuntu remove OpenOffice.org? I did not find any information to
support this, so my guess is no.
Or is it possible OO.org can't coexist with LibreOffice?
With the ppa builds, no LibreOffice can't live with OpenOffice at the
same time. You can always switch back later if you like. Ubuntu has
indicated that they will be switching to LibreOffice in the future as
the shipped office version.
History:
My Ubuntu 10.04 install had not been updated in weeks! I wanted to try
LibreOffice so I just added the ppa but did not install (wanted to
install after I had an up to date system). I had been lazy in creating
a backup, hence the lack of updates. I finally created the backup, then
ran update. I was surprised to see OpenOffice on the remove list
because I did not install LibreOffice yet.
I am surprised that just the fact the ppa was on my sources.list made
the update manager remove OpenOffice.
Thank You Sean for listing the install instructions!
My guess is the libreoffice packages were marked as "upgrades" to
openoffice, so with the sources in place it would upgrade to
libreoffice, though that's just a guess.
