Purge removes not only what is being requested, but also programs that depend on it, and, in some instances, things that the program depends upon. Remove just gets rid of what is requested. By way of example. The only house at the end of a cul de sac. Remove the house will simply tear down the house, leaving a vacant lot, but with the infrastructure for utilities, etc in place. Purge the house will remove the house, the utility poles, the utility lines (sewerage, water), power, telephone, cable, and all the other infrastructure along the cul-de-sac. In the "best/worst case scenario", purge would remove the entire cul de sac, leaving no evidence that there ever was a road there, much less a house. jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

How about all of the settings and options you have in the old version that you want in the new one? sudo apt-get remove libreoffice* Then I install the new version by installing the web site version, after it is uncompressed, in the terminal. I "cd" to the DEBS folder and then use the "dpkg" command. sudo dpkg -i *.deb I tend not to use the PPA system, since I install and use different versions on my various Ubuntu/MATE and Mint/MATE systems [Mint 13.x to Ubuntu 15.04] - as well as my Win7 systems. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

The latter is easy to remove, both via Synaptic and from the menu. As others have mentioned, installing the LibreOffice PPA is one way of making certain that one always has the latest stable version ; I use it myself. Why you can't get extensions to work on the new version is, however, beyond me ; perhaps someone else who frequents our forum knows Here it might be worth noting that the latest version of Linux Mint, 17.2 Rafael, has now been released with a mechanism that allows for an upgrade to be done directly from the Update Manager ; I did this last night and it took all of 2-3 minutes. The version of LibreOffice that comes with LM 17.2 is 4.4.3 Henri -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

If you'd added the PPA deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu trusty main all you would have had to do is an upgrade. In a terminal do sudo apt-get purge libreoffice* That should remove all your versions of LO. Then see here for how to install via PPA: http://linuxpitstop.com/upgrade-libreoffice-4-4-4-on-ubuntu/ As you will have removed ALL your versions of LO then you will have to edit the final command to sudo apt-get install libreoffice -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-users] remove older version
Good evening I made a fresh install of Mint 17.1, 64-bit on a Dell Optiplex 745 machine. Mint comes with LibreOffice 4.2.6.3. Since there is a newer version (4.4.4.3) available, I downloaded and installed it. However, I now have under (Mint) Menu -> Office TWO Libreoffice items each (Writer, Calc etc.). In the newer version I am not able to modify / install an extensions. I get errors like: "Error while installing extension Alternative searching. The error message is: an error occurred during file opening The extension will not be installed." "Error reading data from the Internet. Server error message: Could not read status line: Connection reset by peer." "General Internet error has occurred." Somehow I suspect, the old package gets in the way (this kind of trouble with extensions has NEVER happened on any computer with ANY OS before) and I would like to remove it ... but don't know how. Software Manager and Synaptic Package Manger show only ONE version of LibreOffice: 4.4.4.3. Is there a trick to do this? What are the chances this will solve the extension problem? I am also wondering why the newer version did not replace the older one. Thank you.
