AntiX-19.2 – Where is LibreOffice 6.4.1?

[Member RobK88]

I just upgraded to AntiX-19.2 from 19.1 using apt-get dist-upgrade.
According to the blog post, 19.2 now supports LibreOffice 6.4.1.
But when I run Libreoffce, it shows that I am still at 6.1.5.2.

How do I upgrade to LibreOffice 6.4.1?

(I have tried “sudo port update” and “sudo port upgrade” with no success).

Just so nobody new will be confused. Apt not port.

sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade, sudo apt full-upgrade are valid standard commands.
apt-get as anti noted in other post too but I just use the shorthand.

Chain by putting && between the commands. i.e. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade,
if you wish. If you use the console a lot it is well worth reading Manpages for Apt,
dpg too

Just so nobody new will be confused.
The Antix Package installer is shown in the system menu too. That of course dues not
detract from caprea`s answer which is correct.

Sorry, I meant to say that I tried “sudo apt-get update” and “sudo apt-get upgrade” with no success. And yes I know that if I want, I can put both commands on one line using the & symbol.

As suggested, I used the antiX package installer in the antiX control centre and was able to upgrade to LibreOffice version 6.4.3.2.

It looks like the antiX package installer uses apt-get in the background. During the install, the following familiar text appeared in a terminal window:

I wish I knew how the antiX package installer was using apt-get.
Is it using a different repo when installing the latest version of LibreOffice?

It gets the latest version of libreoffice from Debian buster-backports repo.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
