How to uninstall LibreOffice installed with RPM package?

Ask Fedora

I have 2 LibreOfffices as follows:

  1. By default from clean installation of Fedora 33 Workstation + LibreOffice Base from ‘Software’.
  2. From LibreOffice RPM package.

I need to uninstall LibreOffice installed with RPM package.
Can you please teach me ?

You can find what packages you have installed using rpm -qa. For example, these are the libreoffice packages that Fedora includes:

$ rpm -qa \*libreoffice\*
libreoffice-data-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.noarch
libreoffice-ure-common-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.noarch
libreoffice-opensymbol-fonts-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.noarch
libreoffice-help-en-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-gtk3-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-ure-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-x11-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-core-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-langpack-en-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-pyuno-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-pdfimport-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-graphicfilter-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-writer-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-calc-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-ogltrans-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-impress-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-xsltfilter-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-filters-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-emailmerge-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-draw-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64
libreoffice-math-7.0.3.1-1.fc33.x86_64

To find the one you installed from the LibreOffice website (probably called LibreOffice.*rpm), check your installed packages:

rpm -qa | grep -i libreoffice

Then find the one that’s not from Fedora, and remove it using dnf:

sudo dnf remove <package name>

They do not appear to be from the fedora repos, so yes.

Also look at the output of:

sudo dnf list extras

[root@localhost fedora002]#

This should be the last one to be removed.

And then I will be heading for this.

I will never install 2 LibreOffices like this agin.

Thank you so much for your support.
