LibreOffice versions obtained from distros are somewhat different from official releases. The distributors tend to offer pieces (calc, base etc.) separately which can cause (especially Base & Report Builder) problems. Other parts of the package are also modified to provide updates
not normally done with LO. Normal LO updates are really a complete installation of a version.
You can delete LO with the following commands in a terminal:
sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice5*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
This should remove everything EXCEPT the User Profile
. Typically you want to keep this because the next steps would be to install a newer version and you would want to keep your old settings.
Which version to install is your choice. Fresh
