Sorry, but I had to "purge" 4.0.3 before I installed 4.0.4.  I run 
Ubuntu 12.04LTS and I think it uses 3.5.7 as its default install of LO.  
I have had to do the removal of the old version of LO throughout the 
3.6.x line and for every 4.0.x version I have installed as well.  So it 
does not "completely" involve the original version that the distro 
installs.  Or at least for me.  I seem to remember having to do the same 
with Mint and another Debian-based distro I tested before.

Also, I do not install the PPA's for LO or most other package.

I just stick with downloading the installs from the LO download 
page[s].  I tend to download about 90 files each time for the NA-DVD 
when each new version comes out.  There are 7 less since 4.1.0 does not 
support Mac OSX PPC systems.

-----------------------------------------

As for the heat, well we have a few days off that in New York State 
right this moment.  Before that we were going record heat and high 
humidity.  Also, in the EMT training I took in the late 80's to give me 
the "health credits I needed for college, the tell you to avoid alcohol 
during heat and cold.  It might make you feel good but it make the heat 
and cold worse for you body.  Some would tell me I am wrong, but it was 
in my text book[s].

I myself, because of my meds, feel the heat and cold much worse than 
many others in my building.  Below 75 degrees I am really cold and above 
80 I feel like it is in the high 90's or worse.  Between the pain meds 
and the nerve damage, I just want to do nothing during the worst of the 
heat, even though I try and keep my place under 80 degrees with my air 
conditioner and fans.  The there is the 120+ degree heat in the car on 
those days above 90 degrees outside. Takes 10 minutes to get my car cool 
enough to be able to drive.  So we all tend to "shut down" as much as we 
can when the heat is in full force.
