Somebody gave me this to install the 4.2.3.3 on the new machine.
Hi,
I would skip down to the command line and the directory on which this file is stored, then (sorry I can't see the full file name while I am typing so I'll let you put the correct details where I have put ???)
tar -zxvf Libreoffice-???.zip
cd Libreoffice-???/deb
sudo apt-get install *.deb
But it didn't work. (I tried it with and without the hyphen. Got error messages. See screenshots)

The LibreOffice file shown by ls on your desktop doesn't end in .zip. Try your tar command again with the exact file name.
