I have installed the PPA for LibreOffice but no updates show up. 10.04 2 Answers Voted Best Answer Ward Muylaert 2011-02-26T11:10:03+08:002011-02-26T11:10:03+08:00 Assuming you are using this one, 3.3.1 is currently building for Maverick (10.10). I assume lucid is still to follow. If you really can't wait, then you can always go and build it yourself by grabbing the source code. user11581 2011-02-28T20:55:41+08:002011-02-28T20:55:41+08:00 Libreoffice also provides DEB packages (see downdload page). These are usually built at release time and work fine with Ubuntu. Then to install you (see official instructions for more details) remove the old version with sudo apt-get purge libreoffice* unpack the downloaded file (the "easiest" way is: right-click->Extract here) cd into the unpacked directory and run sudo dpkg -i DEBS/*.deb and sudo dpkg -i DEBS/desktop-integration/*.deb That's how you always get the latest release. Though, you manually have to deinstall/install at every version.
