I do not use Repository or PPA for installing LibreOffice.  I download
the Debian install from the web site.  The only issue with that is you
will need to remove the previous installed version first.   That is a
whole different discussion why that is required.

I run 4.0.5 on Ubuntu and have one Windows system using 4.1.1.
