I had installed LibreOffice 4.0.4, then I added PPA LibreOffice 4-1, and installed new version (LO 4-1). However, there is menu delay problem, so I decided to remove 4-1 and install 4-0 again... 

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

LO 4-1 was removed, but now I cannot install 4-0.

I had to install "ure" from Synaptic Package Manager but in options I had to select to "force previous version", ie. 4.0.2.... after that, I was able to install Libre Office...

To install LibreOffice 4 you will need to completely remove all previous versions. Run:

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice-core libreoffice-common
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

Then install by:-

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-0

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

or get the more details you can see this Q.: How do I install LibreOffice 4?
