Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Uninstall LibreOffice 4.0.2

I have had this problem before myself, but with Ubuntu 13.04 mostly.

The Ubuntu software center does not remove all of the older version.  It 
is not just the menu system.  Somehow the system still tell you that the 
previous version's "core" is still installed and the new menu system is 
different than the core info.  It did not happen when I went from 4.0.0 
to 4.0.1, but .2 and .3 seems to be doing this.

There is something remaining from the previous version that trips the 
menu install.
I use 12.04 and 13.04 but with MATE as my desktop environment. The error 
happens when I run Unity as well.

The "apt-get remove" command is something I forget most times.  So I use 
a different process.

I go to the Synaptic Package manager and search for "libreoffice"
Then I click on the "box" column to have all the green ones in a row at 
the top of the list.

Then I "check" all of the green boxes for removal/uninstall.

After the files are uninstalled, I use the terminal to do the full 4.0.3 
install, both parts.
