Ah, that is a long story ;-)
In the old time of OOo /GoOO the OOo version provided by Ubuntu was not
as good as the generic Linux/deb version.

On Ubuntu forums, you can still see problems in distro versions that are
solved by replacing it by the generic Linux version provided by TDF. I
agree that it is not the best solution, something like removing the user
profile when some day LO starts to have some weird behavior. ;-)

Another reason to install TDF version on Linux OS is that you may want
have the newest version, for example for tests purpose.

Yes, but in the present case, it is not enough to kill the installation
problems.

Best regards.
