[ale] just installed LibreOffice in Linux, should have been easier

[JD]

Perhaps I'm crazy, but I always do

sudo apt-get update&&  sudo apt-get upgrade


together before installing any new packages.  This keeps all the 
underlying packages current - that could be the issue you are seeing 
between the different systems.  In real-time programming, this is known 
as data homogeneity.  All the data on a specific thread/priority cannot 
be changed by outside priorities until the thread/priority finishes.  
Basically, you get consistent data before you begin processing.

I do agree that not doing the "upgrade" should work provided you aren't 
too out of date with patches. I've just never wanted to test that.
