Probably should be 'sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*.*' What are you doing to remove the libobasis elements and the libure element? > 5. sudo dpkg -i > ~/Desktop/LibO_3.3.1rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb > 6. sudo dpkg -i > > ~/Desktop/LibO_3.3.1rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.3-debian-menus_3.3-8_all.deb > That ought to work.... > The first time I installed LibreOffice I ran "sudo apt-get remove : > though.

It usually takes me two runs - the first to get the outer level stuff (and checking every box that comes up), then another to remove the libobasis elements. If anyone wants it, I modified my LO installation script to allow for a different directory name than what "should" match the tarball. Note this this script should be fairly easy to modify to use rpm instead of dpkg: #!/bin/bash # Written by Mark A. Richter, Copyleft 2011 if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then echo "Usage: `basename $0` <install-tarball>" exit 1 fi tgz=$1 if [[ ! -f $tgz ]]; then # try adding the .tar.gz suffices... tgz="${tgz}.tar.gz" if [[ ! -f $tgz ]]; then echo "$tgz does not appear to be a gzipped tarball - please check the file and try again." exit 1 fi fi tar -xzf $tgz dir=`basename $tgz .tar.gz` if [[ ! -d $dir/DEBS ]]; then # check the tarball for different name new=`tar -tf $tgz | head -1 | sed -e 's:/.*::'` if [[ $new != $dir && -d $new ]]; then dir=$new fi fi if [[ ! -d $dir/DEBS ]]; then echo "I can't see a DEBS subdirectory - check your tarball again." exit 1 fi cd $dir/DEBS sudo dpkg -i *.deb if [[ -d desktop-integration ]]; then cd desktop-integration sudo dpkg -i *.deb cd .. fi cd ../.. echo "Shall I delete $dir?" read nm if [[ "$nm" == "y" || "$nm" == "Y" ]]; then echo "Deleting $dir..." rm -rf $dir fi echo "Done!" echo "" (If you want to use this, please be sure to keep the attribution.
