This is another post I'm saving for later reference. That's good
info. LibreOffice wasn't originally in the Ubuntu Repositories,
so I
didn't use synaptic. Again, I don't wish to get rid of it, so
this is
all hypothetical.<br>
<br>
For PC #1, I used this command, per the LibreOffice website,
executed
from within each of three DEBS directories extracted from
tarballs.<br>
<br>
<code>sudo dpkg -i *.deb<br>
</code><br>

I avoid doing direct package installs as much as possible and use a
PPA instead. This way I get updates to the programs with my nominal
weekly apt-get update/upgrade process. This isn't always possible,
but the last 3 yrs, I suppose I've installed less than 5 apps across
all the machines I manage outside a PPA or distro source.<br>
