Uninstall the installed packages and install the downloaded one.

I started that process. The LO tar.gz file downloaded and I extracted
it. I was composed of 38 .deb files. Gdebi threw up 'dependency is not
satisfiable' on all but three or four of them.

Worse, one of them had 'fonts' in its title, so I opened its Readme. It
wanted to install over 350 fonts on my computer. I already have several
hundred fonts, and I only ever use a couple dozen of them. Sure, my
computer can handle thousands of fonts, but every time I need to look
at my font choices I have to wait while my computer loads the fonts
before displaying them. What is it with developers? Do they think I
will be impressed by a ton of free (but useless) fonts? I'm more
impressed at how stupid the developers are. And Linux itself is even
worse. Ubuntu installs hundreds of fonts and it takes me hours to
delete them. Grr.

Oh well. Maybe the unsatisfied dependencies are a blessing in disguise.
