Well, if you look here: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ you will see that LibreOffice 4.1.6 is one of the two available released versions - ie the "stable" release vs the "fresh" release. So you are getting **A** current release of LibreOffice. Should it be 4.2.4.2? Probably, but providing 4.1.6 is still technically within the confines of the latest supported release as provided by TDF. :-P I have to agree with Basil, I would expect the most recent LO package in "LibreOffice:Unstable" repo, and the most recent stable in "LibreOffice:Stable".
However, the version in "LibreOffice:Stable" is 4.1.6.2, and in "LibreOffice:Unstable" we have 4.1.1.2, which is older... it makes no sense.
I have to conclude that something is wrong with the "LibreOffice:*" repos.
If you look at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=LibreOffice%3AUnstable&package=libreoffice, you see that all builds are failed, and the last change was 10 months ago.
I haven't dug down that far and if your analysis is correct - which I am sure it is - then there would appear to be serious misgivings about the relevance of this Community Repository with respect to the most important application in openSUSE (and Linux world generally) which is LibreOffice.
Has "LibreOffice:Unstable" repo been abandoned?
Why?
A very good question. ============================== However, there is the other matter which I raised in my first post: the LO downloaded from the LO site shows that there are 3 files missing and so it won't install - but these 3 files ARE installed and they are all to be found in /usr/lib64. Why can't v4.2.4.2 find them? Have they been recently moved from the original place where LO expects to find them? Or does LO 4.2.4.2 contain an error and is looking for these files in the wrong place? As I mentioned, I re-installed LO v 4.2.0.4 and it installed without a hitch. (But does it need these same files? I don't know.) I really do not know where the problem may lay.
