I'm not touching any of my Ubuntu boxes until the 21.10 -> 22.04 upgrade has 
finished, i don't want to risk slowing the download, even though I never 
installed LibraOffice on 21.10 the last few hours it's been "getting 
Libre-core-all" the Eta keeps moving about from 10 hours to 2 days 9 hours 
(while I watched may have been evem long between)

Thanks
