After updating LibreOffice to 4.3 the version shown in all applications is still 4.2.5.2

Hi Herbert,

The package from libreoffice.org does *not* replace older versions, but installs alongside. So now you should have two sets of entries in your menu, the 4.3 ones have a suffix "4.3" (like "LibreOffice 4.3 Calc" etc.). You can verify it by running "libreoffice4.3" from the terminal. Could you recheck please?

Hello,

That’s right.
But this is not expected.
It should replace the old version as it has aways done in the past.

Otherwise make it clear on the website that this is happening.

Regards,
Herbert

please, open a new report about this.

I'm closing this one because the "wrong version number" issue was just a misunderstanding of the situation.
