Re: [libreoffice-users] How to upgrade LO on Ubuntu 14.04.LTS

I think you really need to figure out what it is that you want. For
additional help I suggest going to the #libreoffice IRC channel. What
you asked for has been provided (how to upgrade to 5.0.2 as well as
5.0.3). If you want "still" version (I would argue it's not really all
that more stable and you'll miss out on a lot of features that are in
5.x series) you need to install 4.4 not 5.0.
