Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing the Deb

Tom,

I used the following instructions to upgrade to LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 on 
three machines with Ubuntu 12.10. It has worked really well so far. No 
issues installing or using it. The bug that made some functions in Base 
run unacceptably slow have been fixed!!!!!!!

*Instructions for the 64 Bit Debian Version:*
Download LibreOffice_4.0.0.3 to the desktop.
Right click on it and extract it to the desktop. This will give you the 
folder LibreOffice_4.0.0.3_Linux_x86-64_deb
Run the following terminal commands to install it:
1. sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*
2. sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibreOffice_4.0.0.3_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS/*.deb
3. sudo dpkg -i 
~/Desktop/LibreOffice_4.0.0.3_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice4.0-debian-menus_4.0.0-103_all.deb
4. If using Unity, Open Dash, type Libre and you will see the different 
components (Writer, Calc, etc.). Simply drag the icons for them over to 
where you wish to have them in the launcher bar.

If you install it in this manner using the official Document Foundation 
version, and you type libreoffice in the command line, I get the following:
> The program 'libreoffice' is currently not installed. You can install 
> it by typing:
> sudo apt-get install libreoffice-common
An install as shown above does not have any repository from which it 
originated. Therefore there aren't any updates, which I understand. If 
it showed up as an installed program, Ubuntu would try to update the 
LibreOffice with its own version which would lead to a royal mess!!!!!! 
I did not get a message saying there is a missing package like you did.
