Actually, using the -R (recursive) option can create issues if you have multiple versions of LO installed. For example; I wish to use LO 3.3 as a primary & so I do install from desktop-integration for that. However, I also have 3.4.x installed & don't really want those menu items to take over the 3.3 menu items, so instead I create a menu launcher to the 3.4 general launcher and do not install the 3.4 desktop-integration .deb. Also, be aware that if you forget to capitalize the '-R' and instead put '-r' you can run into issues. '-r' is for: -r, --remove, -P, --purge package...|-a|--pending see: man dpkg (<http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man1/dpkg.1.html> -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] 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
