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!

Re: Updating Libreoffice
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.antonio8909 wrote:Hi,

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.

Re: Updating Libreoffice
Yes with Raspbian go from Jessie (Stable) to Stretch (Testing) and you will have lots of newer packages not just LibreOfficeHiisi wrote:Any way to install it under Jessie?fruitoftheloom wrote:

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
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

Re: Updating Libreoffice
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!
