In general, the remove and reinstall mantra coming from Windows users doesn't fix anything. You're back at square one unless something surprisingly failed to install the first time around, and did so without any kind of error warning. Or you'd somehow removed just a section of it later on. It's most likely that things were properly installed the first time, and repeating the same process isn't going to change anything. It's a rarity that such commonly used things have installation problems, they get noticed very quickly. That's the kind of thing more likely with obscure programs that almost no-one uses. Of course there's no harm in trying, but it rarely fixes anything. Also, your own files (documents, etc) are not affected in any way by uninstalling or installing applications. Your files are stored in your own homespace, not in the middle of any program files. And uninstall routines only uninstall program files. There also seems to be a misunderstanding of "base" along the thread. LibreOffice is the core of a system, so to speak, libreoffice-base is a database interface that it can use. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.62.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 5 16:57:59 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
