Re: [libreoffice-users] Error trying to install LibreOffice 4.0.2.2 on ubuntu 12.10

Hi :)
The main point was to remove the older version of LibreOffice with 


sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*

or synaptic or something, before starting the install of the newer version.  It is possible to 
install more than one version at a time but as a general rule it's less confusing to stick with 
just one at a time unless you are beta-testing or something and need a stable version as well as 
the one being tested.  

Regards from 

Tom :)
