I see. Not based off of MintDE, so it is an Ubuntu baby. Good to know.

feren OS to go rolling release . . .
Quote:
The feren OS distribution, which is based on Linux Mint, will be adopting a rolling release model in the near future. The project intends to regularly update packages on the system using personal package archives (PPAs). "Prepare for the first rolling release Linux Mint[-based] distribution, starting 2017.1, or should I say, 2017.0X (Where X is the month it's released)." The announcement can be found on the feren OS blog.

Remove libreoffice from feren OS
I have done all the apt-get remove, clean, and autoremove.
I have gone into Synaptic and Completely Removed everything I can find installed which references libreoffice.
I have gone into Terminal and deleted directories.
I have deleted JPG, PNG, etc.
But Feren still wants to update libreoffice.
How do I get rid of this program?????

Thanks, zaivala.
The issue may well be feren OS-specific then, because you don't have any LibreOffice packages installed.
You could try apt update followed apt list --upgradable and paste the output of the latter command here.

Please run apt update and apt list --upgradable again (the former failed when you ran it last time as another program was using the apt system - please close the Update Manager before running these commands).
Note that I did not ask you to prefix these two commands with sudo (there is no need).
There will be other commands to run after these. We're not finished yet, so no need to run Update Manager afterwards to check if they have worked.

Same thing as before. I have a clean boot, the only thing open is Mullvad VPN and Firefox other than what feren OS boots with.

I'm not sure what does and does not need root. So I tend to use sudo just to keep from typing the command again. But as you can see, the Terminal assumes sudo on this command and asks for my password anyhow.
OK, I found out what was using the system. My VPN software has been slow to close after connecting, and until it does it uses that system. I just ran update again and got a complete update.

I do know that the uno app runs in libreoffice, and I did "Completely Remove" it. Apparently not. So now what.

Next, we check that all packages on your system are fully installed (just in case this is what caused the problem):
Code:
dpkg -l | grep -v "^ii"
There's no need to paste the output if there are no packages listed under the equals signs.

I ran upgrade, and it upgraded the uno libs. My package manage now says I do not have to update libreoffice. I'm not sure I solved the problem, but it is shoved down the road a bit.
