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

Hi Webmaster,

If you were doing an upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 to 13.10, that will not 
work. 12.04 to 14.04 will work since both are/will be Long Term Service 
releases. Other upgrades only work if you are going from the previous 
current release, such as 13.04 to 13.10. I generally do a clean install 
anyway.

To cleanly remove LO using the terminal from your computer you can do 
the following from 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/180403/how-to-uninstall-libreoffice:
sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

I use it to get rid of the package version and then reinstall the 
version I want from The Document Foundation. I do not use any PPA 
version, and have never had any issues.
