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.
If you are reporting issues with the Fedora packages to the LibreOffice package maintainers in Fedora, do you have a BZ for the ticket you filed? This absolutely should be tracked as part of Fedora updates. If you filed a bug with upstream LibreOffice about Fedora packaging issues, I am not surprised they ignored you.
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")
This isn’t advice I would offer anyone. There are very limited circumstances I’d ever suggest using the —nodeps parameter with rpm, and that’s for last ditch RPM database corruption or to fix interrupted transactions, it is never something involved in a regular package update or removal. If you are using Fedora packages, you absolutely should never need this to update r remove LibreOffice.

Hi Jonathan,
I should have been more clear I was talking about
upstream's packages, not the fedora repo.
