[Solved] LibreOffice to AOO

Post by RAVC »

Hello,

I was referred to the following tutorial here

viewtopic.php?t=50119

and found its initial instruction for removing the existing installation to be incorrect. That is,

sudo apt-get purge libreoffice

I am informed Package 'libreoffice' is not installed, so not removed.

Hence, my post here to understand this and determine my best course of action.

Did you include the * after libreoffice?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*

No. Thank you. The use of the asterisk appeared to be a reference to instructions for removal of LO in Ubuntu and other Debian distributions referenced later in the same paragraph. Yes, that worked so, it must actually be a wild card.

Edit - Everything worked perfectly. Thank you again.
