thanks mike! adding the ppa means, you did not remove the old LO-version
in the first place?

Correct. I added the ppa, did a refresh, and was offered the new versions
in synaptic.

(Irrelevant probably, but synaptic then refused to actually do the upgrade
- but this has happened lately for various packages, not just LO. Using apt
(or was it apt-get?) directly performed all the upgrades correctly.)

​Mike, I use the LO PPA to install all the upgrades to my 64-bit Linux Mint
box (currently 17.1)​
​, which means that they are installed automatically via the Update Manager
- i e, I don't have to look for them in Synaptic or use «apt-get» in a
terminal to install them. Very convenient, but as I recently mentioned on
another thread, Base seems to be missing from the latest version (4.4.0.3)
installed on this computer - in any event, when I click the Base icon in
LibreOffice nothing at all happens, and when I enter «soffice --base» in a
terminal, LibreOffice opens not to Base, but to Writer !...

I'm not a frequent user of Base, but I can't recall encountering this
problem with previous versions of LO on Mint. I note that all LO services,
including Base, work just fine on my Windows 64-bit 8.1 box. Any
suggestions as to what may be wrong and how to fix it would be greatly
appreciated !...

PPA installs are fine, if you want to run the one that is currently on the PPA list.

Personally, I have not changed over to the 4.4.0.x package. I usually wait for the .2 or .3 version before I switch.

Because of an extended illness, I have not started "testing" 4.4.0.x on one of my systems. I do this before I install the new "line" onto my main/default system.

It might be helpful to have someone to post the PPA "script" here so those who want to try it can get the correct install procedure.
