To shorten the command and avoiding having to type the name of every individual package, and also potentially to extend the life of this procedure in case differently named packages are provided in later versions of LibreOffice, I used the * wildcard to cover many packages at once. The above technique uninstalls all LibreOffice packages provided in Ubuntu. And you might decide just not to remove that one at all. So if the simulation reveals that a number of other packages you need or are unfamiliar with would be removed, try simulating without removing fonts-opensymbol and see what happens. I haven't heard about any problems arising from removing fonts-opensymbol but those are fonts, and not enough people remove the package to know if problems viewing documents are common. (That is, put -s right after apt-get, and, optionally, remove the sudo.) You can either be very careful while running the removal command (watch out for whatever else it says will be uninstalled), or simulate the removal first: apt-get -s remove fonts-opensymbol libreoffice libreoffice-\* -dtd-officedocument1.0 python\*-uno uno-libs3-\* ure ure-dbg
Fortunately, the most serious breakages can be averted by making sure that nothing you need is removed with the LibreOffice packages. Still, that is a legitimate concern and I cannot guarantee that nothing depends on your existing LibreOffice installation. I think it's unlikely that removing any of this will break other programs, because Lubuntu doesn't come with LibreOffice, and Lubuntu users are able to run just about any Ubuntu program, without having to install LibreOffice. If you want to remove global configuration files too (this does not affect per-user configuration in users' home directories), replace remove with purge. Suitable generally, but especially when removing LibreOffice to replace it with a manually installed LibreOffice or OpenOffice.Īssuming LibreOffice is provided by official Ubuntu packages on your system (which it generally is, unless you've installed it yourself from other packages or from the LibreOffice website), you can thoroughly remove it in the Terminal: sudo apt-get remove fonts-opensymbol libreoffice libreoffice-\* -dtd-officedocument1.0 python\*-uno uno-libs3-\* ure ure-dbg An especially thorough removal technique.
