Hi,
I wanted to remove all LibreOffice components so I tried the following
command:
sudo dnf remove -y @libreoffice
This resulted in:
No packages marked for removal.
Dependencies resolved.

This was strange since the group had no packages in it.
Why is that ?
Just to confirm I installed the LibreOffice group once again via:
sudo dnf install -y @libreoffice
And that resulted in:
Dependencies resolved.

Why is there a blank group of LibreOffice ?
Why aren't the required packages in it ?

Hi Sreyan,
Libre Office also does not remove prior major releases of itself as does
their Windows version. Makes for a mess.
You have to manually uninstall the old major release
manually.
I reported it to them a while back, but they blew me off.
Libre Office is not very good about taking bugs from
their users.
I would drop Libre Office, if I could. Soft Maker
looks like they are close to getting there. I will
migrate to them as soon as they start supporting
saving is ODX (spreadsheet) format. They currently
support saving in ODT. Soft Maker loads both
on ODX and ODT TEN times faster than Libre Office.
No fooling!
Soft Maker also has a free version called
Free Office, But the paid verions is very reasonable.
This is my keep on how to uninstall Libre Office
-T
RPM Removal of Libre Office:
# rpm --nodeps -e $(rpm -qa | grep -i -E
"libobasis|^libreoffice\.org|libreoffice|unoconv")
# rpm -e $(rpm -qa \*libreoffice\* | grep -i menu)
Also, go into /opt and remove the stray libreoffice* directories
To remove Libreoffice 5.2 after installing (Upgrading) 5.3:
# rpm --nodeps -e $(rpm -qa | grep -i -E "libobasis5.2|libreoffice5.2")
