Re: Problem installing libreoffice 7.2.4.1

[Riza Dindir <riza.dindir%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hello Greg,

I have installed what is on the repository. I am now using libreoffice-6.

But it is strange how I ended up installing libreoffice-7.2.4.1. I do
not recall, but I did install it using pkgin, I believe.

Anyways.

When I first started using NetBSD, I was using the pkg_* tools to
install packages, now I have switched to pkgin. Are you using pkgin,
or the pkg_* tools to install packages on NetBSD?

Regards,
Riza
