This issue seems to be mixing multiple updater concepts which increases the
confusion on both sides.

The original reporter is talking about the "Update check" functionality which
is actually not!! an updater. It only checks if a new version is available but
will never install new versions. I think on Linux the general advise is to use
your distro's LibreOffice build unless you want to put in some manual work. The
distro builds sadly also provide more features as we still struggle with out
old baseline.
Based on this I think this report should just be closed.


Heiko was talking about the experimental automatic MAR based updater which is
only available in one daily build and has not been active for some time due to
build failures. This feature is not expected to ever land in official TDF Linux
builds due to various limitations. For Linux this feature is only meant to be
used in combination with daily builds for QA.
