            Bug ID: 108929
           Summary: Installation should ask for root/sudo password
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: idrathernot2010+documentfoundation at gmail.com

Description:
Since you don't provide installation instructions on your download page the
"Check for Updates" feature should do the usual sudo thing to allow direct
installation when a user doesn't have write permission on the installation
folder instead of just disabling the install button.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start old version of a LibreOffice application (e.g. Calc)
2.wait until Update available icon appears
3.Click on icon
4.notice there are no installation instructions (or links to same) and the
install button is dead.

Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:
install button starts installation via sudo which will ask for an appropriate
password. This could be conditional on writability of installation folder


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: N/A

Additional Info:
you might also make installation instructions easier to find!
