upgrades on Linux...
Has anyone installed in Linux over old 3.4 yet? Please let us know how that
went if you did.
Also, if you have and keep LO, what happened with that situation?
Thanks.

There was a bug when LO released the first version which collide with older
openoffice applications, they fix that on some versions ahead.
OpenOffice.org version by then was 3.4 RC which never really got released
officially. So I guess it will has to do with the LO version as well. LO
first version 3.4 as well.
There are specific documentation to run it on parallel with those versions.

This is a Linux specific issue:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121968
Next time, I will just keep old versions around (if I can) until RC is
announced. From my personal view, knowing the directory changes, I didn't
think much of having to do a manual de-installation when I couldn't upgrade
so I never even brought it up. I thought we could/should just deal with in
Release Notes or something. An assessment mistake on my part.

For what it's worth, I did test the upgrade scenarios with the RC,
with OOo 3.3.0, AOO 3.4.0, AOO 3.4.1 and LO 4.0. But these were all
tests on Windows. With 3.3.0, 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 upgrades the old
version was correctly removed. But it does leave one empty directory
behind:
C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\share\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages
This is a minor issue, but I'll enter a BZ issue for it.

Thanks, Mechtilde --
It seems last revisions to fix this were imported on 2013-07-01, and
supposedly addressed this.
I take from your response that the RC candidate does NOT un-install 3.3 as
it should?
In my case, I uninstalled 3.4.1 about a month ago due to this problem, and
did not reinstall it to test this.

Hello Kay,
I already wrote at 29.06.2013 12:50 under
Re: [RELEASE]: propose new snapshot build based on rev. 1496831
I did a test in a clean virtualbox under Debian Wheezy 32 bit.
First I installed AOO 3.4.1 without problems
Then I installed the developer Snapshot from 2013-06-27 with dpkg -i *.deb.
This doesn't work proper. I get many errors, for example: "openoffice
kollidiert mit openoffice.org3" and so on
I tried it also with --auto-deconfigure but this doesn't solve all problems.
Kind regards
Mechtilde

Thanks to you both. @Ricardo -- yes, I use freedesktop on opensuse as well
instead of the suse-desktop because locations are more current since
opensuse 11.x.
@Alexandro -- I meant with the new 4.0 download, what were your
experiences. This is what I am concerned with now esp since all old 3.x
gets deleted, etc.

That's highly distro dependant: on openSUSE both can live side by side
without problems, but AFAIK on *buntu it's almost impossible to use AOO and
the distro's LibO.
Vanilla LibO and AOO can live together without problems.
BTW, I installed 4.0 on openSUSE using the freedesktop integration instead
of the suse's specific rpm, and it works great.

This happened because build numbers were the same. The svn revisions were
different, but actual build number was the same.

Please elaborate when you get a moment. Are you linux 64-bit or 32?
I thought our 64-but buildbot was all Ubuntu so, and I think this is what
Arie's' 32 bit build was also, so ????
I confess I don't know anythng about Ubuntu's 9debian) package management
though.

I installed AOO 4 RC over an earlier dev version (on Xubuntu 12.10) and all was well, with earlier recent files showing. No need for any fiddling. Will be trying other machines (mostly similar OS) later in the week and will advise if any difficulties.

I installed the RC on top of a dev version and had to use the --force-all parameter with dpkg (else broken pipe error message). Rather strange.
I tried the import of my old 3.4 profile and it worked rather well. Of course the toolbars of my extensions were disabled but I could access the macros through the AOO macro dialog.
The recent files list was blank however (there are entries in the former registrymodifications.xcu file).
