I think you really need to figure out what it is that you want. For additional help I suggest going to the #libreoffice IRC channel. What you asked for has been provided (how to upgrade to 5.0.2 as well as 5.0.3). If you want "still" version (I would argue it's not really all that more stable and y

Joel, Jean-Baptiste & others. Thank you for replying. A short explanation of my thinking. Many on this list have expressed the advice not to install the latest fresh version but install the latest bugfix of a 1-3 steps earlier version, just to minimize the risk of bugs and enjoy new features.

It is possible. If you want 5.0.2 specifically (not sure why...having identical versions on all machines really isn't required) but here are steps (assuming you're using 64 bit machine): 1. Download the debian package located: https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/5.0.2.2/

Joel, I have installed the version LO5.02.2 on both my PC (Win 7, 64bit) and on another laptop and that is why I want to install it on Ubuntu too. But obviously it is not possible -- how come? By the way. Will the LO5.0x.x helppack install on Ubuntu together (automatically) with the LO-upgrade

Sorry that is incorrect - you'll actually get 5.0.3 which is the latest version in the repository. You can also install from the debian packages but this is not recommended for Ubuntu users - it is highly recommended to install from the ppa. Best, Joel On Tue, Nov 10, 2015 at 1:35 PM, Joel Made

It will install the latest version in the 5.0 repository. You'll get updates until 5.0 is end of life. You'll have to do the same procedure once 5.1 is released (add the 5.1 repository, update, then upgrade). Currently 5.0.2 is the latest version in 5.0 so that's the version that will be installed

Because you put the wrong command. Copy and paste exactly what I write. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-5-0 note: it is not "apt-get" it is "add-apt". Also note that there is no colon after sudo. Best, Joel On Tue, Nov 10, 2015 at 1:28 PM, John R. Sowden wrote: > I have b
