I needed to know some info about updating/upgrading OOo in Ubuntu, since
I no longer use the repository version and its upgrading system.
Can I get away with just running the .deb files and not worry about removing
and then reinstalling the desktop-integration [i.e. menus]? I had to do
a complete
uninstall, including the menus, so I did not get any errors when I
installed the
Oracle version of OOo instead of the Go-oo version in the repository.
So can I just install the deb files and skip the desktop-integration?
To keep from having problems with the desktop-integration you will have
to only install one version of OOo. I have Go-oo 3.2 from the Ubuntu
repository and when I installed any of the OOo RCs I have the same
problem. If your going to run the straight OOo then there should be no
problem. I always remove the installed RC using the Package Manager
before installing the next one. Then use the dpkg -i command to install
the next.
