The 'Synaptic Package Manager' program cannot remove ALL of LibreOffice, even when asked to do so!!!!!
I told synaptic to do a COMPLETE REMOVAL OF LIBRE OFFICE. What I got was the LibreOffice office productivity suite (metapackage) went unchecked, but the impress, calc, draw, math, base-core, libreoffice-help-en-us, writer, core, common, and libreoffice-java-common options were still installed????? How is this possible??????? What part of 'COMPLETE REMOVAL' did synaptic not understand??? I then went and clicked every remaining 'orphan' and told synaptic to remove completely. Got a blizzard of warnings about 'held' packages, 'broken' packages, and other crap. I just told the program to do a COMPLETE REMOVAL. Why do I care about your 'held' or 'broken' packages???? I Tried again, and voila! Now the prior messages solved themselves and everything I asked to be removed is unmarked. However, the joy was short-lived, because I then discovered the libreoffice configuration file was still in the '.config' directory!!!!! .config/libreoffice/4/user Why? How? For what reason? I installed this version of libreoffice: 1:4.4.3~rc2-0ubuntu1~trusty1 I am running this version of Synaptic: 0.81.2 My System: Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64-bit, Cinnamon version 2.6.13, Linux Kernel 3.16.0-38-generic, AMD Phenom II x4 810 Processor x 4 with 8GiB memory -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
