Do you really want to Purge it?
How about all of the settings and options you have in the old version
that you want in the new one?

sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*

Then I install the new version by installing the web site version, after
it is uncompressed, in the terminal.
I "cd" to the DEBS folder and then use the "dpkg" command.

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

I tend not to use the PPA system, since I install and use different
versions on my various Ubuntu/MATE and Mint/MATE systems [Mint 13.x to
Ubuntu 15.04] - as well as my Win7 systems.
