Hello OpenOffice Team

Nice work! I kicked LibreOffice to the curb today after seeing the twitter
posting. It's great to be back and use Apache being a contributor to other
projects.

Anyways, there is one small thing that could make peoples lives easier.
Here is my use case:

I run Ubuntu 16.04 which comes with Libre, a lot of other people who are
thrifty or love linux could be in my situation. The install notes that the
path /usr/bin/soffice needs to be removed but this is *not* enough. Even
after removing it, there will be errors during installation the generic
"error /usr/bin/soffice libreoffice blah blah error".

One needs to sudo apt-get -f remove libreoffice-common or the install will
fail. I know, I just finished. Here is the ubuntu board I found during my
search. First reply.

It would simply be nice if the en_US installation directory contained a
file called INSTALL that concisely pointed this out as I did read the
readmes both of them. The HTML version does a lot better job pointing this
out, but is still insufficient as described above.

I would be happy to do the work of correcting this if nobody else can.

Sincerely,
Kenneth McFarland
