I don 't !
I am lookingat the shell /usr/bin/soffice. It looks for many hidden files from precedent versions. And I had a "tar " version 1.1 before. Maybe those files make him think about doing another way.
Uninstalling the tar version, at the question "Do you want to erase ALL files and DOCUMENTS... " I said no, even if I could not imagine OO deleting my personnal documents written before. Maybe this let many files that should not be here now.
Thanks Thomas for your answer.
I will give more news if I find the proper way to do it...
