openSUSE13.1 upgrading LibreOffice

[malcolmmacvean]

I am currently running LibreOffice 4.1.6.2 in openSUSE13.1. I would like to upgrade to LibreOffice 4.4.

I have added the LibreOffice 4.4 repository and have checked that it is enabled and with autorefresh on.
However, if I go to Install/Remove software and search on libreoffice, the only 4.4 packages it finds are foreign language localization files and LibreOffice SDK. Is there something else I have to do to get the basic 4.4 packages?

Any advice much appreciated.

Select the libreoffice package and click on “Versions” below the package list to see all available versions. YaST does not respect/show versions from different repositories by default. Or temporarily allow “vendor change” in the “Options” menu.

Preferably you should do a full switch to the repo though, as explained here:

(that page also explains the other things I’ve written…)
