Good heavens! You have "dependency hell" to contend with?!

All I do is go to the software manager and delete all the current 
libreoffice files (they' be marked as something like, eg, 3.6.4.x); then 
upack the Mail Installer, the Language Package archive (I use GB 
English) and Help archive and install LO.

The only "tricky" bit is to alter the "launch" entry in the Menu list to 
point to the correct directory/folder where the new LO is installed - 
usually /opt/libreoffice<X.XX> .
