     The above is the normal situation when LibreOffice is part of a 
Debian distribution. There is another thing to consider. The Debian 
version of LibreOffice has its own set of bugs that are different from 
the bugs that LibreOffice from the LO website may have. Besides, the 
Debian versions are always several versions behind those in the LO 
website. For example, the Debian stable version due out this spring will 
likely be 3.6.x. The website should have 3.6.4 shortly with 3.6.6 due 
out in the week of April 8-14, 2013. (They would like to have 4.02 out 
about that same time.
     I think I had the same problem with Ubuntu (a Debian derivative). 
Since with my writing and QA testing I need to use LO from the website, 
I have to remove the Ubuntu version completely using Synaptic. 
Unfortunately this has to be done every time I go to the newest version 
of Ubuntu. Fortunately, that is only once every 2 years. Daily upgrades 
from Ubuntu do not bother my versions of LibreOffice.
