Hi,

I have on my Raspbian Jessie the Libreoffice 4.3.3.2 and I want to upgrade to Libreoffice 5.2.0.

How can I do it?

Thanks!

Assumng that LO is part of the standard Debian Jessie build, then it won't update much (if any) from the version you have with apt; when the OS is released it locks packages at the current version and they're only updated for critical security / bug fixes. If the RPF added it to the Raspbian Jessie build, then they can update it if they want.

Your only other options are to remove all installed LO packages, then build from source, or run an installer if one is available for the archtecture you are using.

Yes with Raspbian go from Jessie (Stable) to Stretch (Testing) and you will have lots of newer packages not just LibreOffice

Just for the input: I did the following. Edited /etc/apt/sources.list file, changed 'jessie' to 'stretch', then

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

and

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libreoffice

Aftewards edited the sources file again to its previous state. Everything worked like a charm! Althrough it's advicable to back-up any important data in advance. This way I have LO 5 running under raspbian jessie.

I tried this, but now every time I go to Add/Remove Softwareit hangs on Searching Packages.

Any ideas how to fix? I've tried sudo apt-get update after restoring "jessie" from "stretch".

Thanks!
