but i couldn't get it.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
someone please show me how to get it.
(sorry for my poor english)

PPAs are only for Ubuntu.

On Debian and BL, which is built on top of Debian, you can get libreoffice 5 from the jessie-backports repository.

There is an easy way on BL to enable the backports repository. First, make sure that your system is up-to-date:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Run

bl-welcome

Navigate the questions until you arrive at a screen titled "Debian Backports". Say yes to enabling the backports repository. Subsequently,

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install libreoffice

will install libreoffice 5.0.5 for you.

run bl-welcome, the following messages appeared.

--------
 There were problems during the update.
  
  Press "d" for details (q to quit) d


W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu/dists/bunsen-hydrogen/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404  Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
  
  Would you like to quit now, or continue anyway?
  (Be careful!)
  Press "q" to quit, "c" to continue:

then i pressed"c" to continue, and it looks successfully finished,
libreoffice on BL has not be upgraded to ver.5.

You need to remove the PPA file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Then run `sudo apt update` and try `bl-welcome` again.

bayou · 2016-03-06 07:45:00

thank you very much!
i found two PPA-files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.
"libreoffice-ppa-bunsenlabs-hydrogen.list"
"libreoffice-ppa-bunsenlabs-hydrogen.list.save"
so i tried to remove them,but i couldn't.
i tried
"sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:bunsenlabs-hydrogen/ppa"
"sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:libreoffice-ppa-bunsenlabs-hydrogen"
"sudo ppa-purge ppa:......"and so on,
but i couldn't get it.

would you please show me how to remove them?

nobody · 2016-03-06 08:06:23

Just use rm:

sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libreoffice*

bayou · 2016-03-06 08:54:45

thank you, mr.nobody!
i just removed ppa files---
"libreoffice-ppa-bunsenlabs-hydrogen.list"
"libreoffice-ppa-bunsenlabs-hydrogen.list.save"
---
then i runned `sudo apt update` and try `bl-welcome` again,
and 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install libreoffice'.
but libreoffice on BL is not upgraded even now.

i guess i had some mistakes.
i am verry sorry for that.

damo · 2016-03-06 09:03:59

Did you add the backports repository first? There is an option in `bl-welcome` to do this.

You should have `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-jessie-backports.list`, which has the lines

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main

Create this file if you don't have it, then do

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install libreoffice

dhalgren · 2016-03-06 09:40:28

The suggested method didn't work for me either. But, after updating and upgrading, the following worked

sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install libreoffice

Which is the way I would have thought was the way to do it.
So, @bayou, try it this way.

damo · 2016-03-06 09:55:01

^ But without the backports repository enabled, that command won't work

Martin · 2016-03-06 10:01:50

Or simply uninstall the Debian version of LO and download the latest version from LO's web and install it instead.

bayou · 2016-03-06 10:26:23

thank you,@dhalgren.
i tried,but i couldn't get it.

thank you,@martin.

thank you everyone.
thank you very much.

Open a terminal and use these commands:

sudo -i
echo "deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt update
apt install libreoffice/jessie-backports
exit

If it still doesn't work, please post the output of:

grep -v '^#\|^$' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*};apt-cache policy libreoffice

Please post the full output of:

sudo apt-get install -t jessie-backports libreoffice

bayou · 2016-03-06 11:26:55

after that, i runned "bl-welcome","update", "upgrade" three times,
and "sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install libreoffice",
finally libreoffice on BL has upgraded to ver.5!

thank you,everyone.
thank you so much!

but,icon style is only "Galaxy".
i can not find "Breeze"icon.

dhalgren · 2016-03-06 12:13:27

@damo
yes, so true. But I had assumed that he had added backports by following your previous advice. But apparently he had not. None the less, I should have added that also.

I remember how confusing it all was for me, back almost twenty years ago, and I still forget to mention the obvious sometimes.

If you mean the LO theme, you can install it with:

sudo apt-get  -t jessie-backports install libreoffice-style-breeze

thank you @nobody!
