This page http://goo.gl/YSlEN shows all the packages, but the latest version 
on that page is 3.6.1 rc2.

This is a really crude (and my favoured) method of seeing what Apt is
using as sources for a particular package. If you look down through
the file paths, each one has got a URL in it. These are all

gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_binary-i386_Packages

which is the 'standard' ubuntu repositiory, suggesting that either Apt
is not querying the LO PPA or the LO PPA simply has no packages in it.

It's since been pointed out that perhaps nothing's being built into
the LO PPA, but I thought I'd share my planned diagnosis with you (and
perhaps incite others to suggest more elegant ways of doing this :) )



Did you see Mark Fraser's reply? Seems the update has been withdrawn as 
some packages don't install properly.

Currently he has 3.6.0.2 installed, and Apt thinks that the latest
available version is 3.6.0.2. Uninstalling the current version shouldn't
suddenly make apt realise that 3.6.2 is available; if it can't find
the new version now, then the bit that's wrong is the bit that
retrieves package lists from repositories, not the locally-installed
package itself.

In short - the problem isn't in what apt thinks is installed, it's in
what apt thinks is available.

Ah. Thanks. That explains it.

You shouldn't. Purging before reinstalling should be exactly the same
as simply upgrading, but with the additional erasure of any

According to this page 
http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/10/libreoffice-3-6-2-maintenance-update-released/ 
LO 3.6.2 is in the libreoffice ppa repository.
When I attempt to do the upgrade I get the message that there is nothing 
to install as I already have the latest version - 3.6.0.2.
Can anyone confirm that 3.6.2 is actually IN the repository, and if so 
why am I getting this message and how do I upgrade?
