Hope that works for you. Personally, unless I were testing/contributing
for Ubuntu, I'd take ZenWiz's advise and install from the libreoffice
.debs.

I have issues with a PPA/package that insists on uninstalling (or
insisting that I uninstall) an existing OOo install simply because the
packager can't figure out how to install (or is too lazy to do so) the
LO package without affecting existing office packages.
  I wonder just how many would find it acceptable if the LO PPA also
removed all other office packages (Abiword for instance) in the process?
Or if the TDF .deb required that you uninstalled your distro OOo before
installing. Amazing...

Please remember to report issues in launchpad & specify that you are
running the PPA version. Also, if you report issues here, please do the
same (specify that you are running a distro PPA version).
