Re: [libreoffice-users] LO install and LinuxMint/MATE 16 downgrading it during a update

I would assume that when 4.1.6 come out in the end of April, the PPA 
will make sure it is updated through the Update Manager.

Now that I have the 4.1 PPA added to my system, how do I make sure that 
when I remove LO 4.1.3 from the system, Mint will not reinstall it 
again, like it did after I installed 4.1.5 manually?

That is the real issue right now.  Why did Mint reinstall 4.1.3 during 
an update session when 4.1.5 was already there.  Plus now I get both 
installs in the "Office" menu list.

I would like to have only one install of LO to save needed space on the 
"OS and /home" partition.

---------

I am now running the OS on a 250 GB drive and I was running a 500 GB 
partition for it.  Upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 to 13.10 erased my whole 
drive and all of the non-OS partitions as well.  Then there were some 
GRUB and boot issues with 13.10, so I switched to Mint and a smaller 
drive for the OS, with the original 2TB drive for data only. [IDE - one 
250 GB for OS: SATA - three 2TB drives for data, one optical drive].


At least Mint 16 will now see the networked Canon drives and install 
them.  Mint 14 did not, would not unless they were USB printers.  Also, 
it seems that Ubuntu 13.10 does not like my 6 month old PCIe16 NVIDIA 
graphics card, which I bought to deal with issues 11.xx had with my 
internal MoB NVIDIA graphics.  It seems that Mint 16 does not have that 
problem.  I run the MATE version, instead of Cinnamon, since I was 
running Ubuntu with MATE. Ubuntu's MATE install has both the top and 
bottom panels while Mint/MATE only uses the bottom one.  I have to get 
use to that.
