Description: Since you don't provide installation instructions on your download page the "Check for Updates" feature should do the usual sudo thing to allow direct installation when a user doesn't have write permission on the installation folder instead of just disabling the install button. Steps to Reproduce: 1.start old version of a LibreOffice application (e.g. Calc) 2.wait until Update available icon appears 3.Click on icon 4.notice there are no installation instructions (or links to same) and the install button is dead. Actual Results: see above Expected Results: install button starts installation via sudo which will ask for an appropriate password. This could be conditional on writability of installation folder Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: N/A Additional Info: you might also make installation instructions easier to find!

In the download page https://www.libreoffice.org/download there is a link in the sidebar to http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/install-howto/ ..through which a Linux user will find https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Install/Linux I asked on the developer chat and they do not consider the sudo pwd prompt to be a good idea. Linux updates normally happen through the package manager anyway.
