Libreoffice impress presentation, draw and base not available

Question

I'm new in the world of Linux and I have a problem. I installed xubuntu 16.04 and I noticed that the preinstalled Libreoffice was not complete (impress presentation, draw drawing and base database not available) so I upgraded to the newest version with

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa && sudo apt update

sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt install libreoffice-gtk2 libreoffice-gnome

...the upgrade worked but it didn't install the missing programs... How can I install the full suite? Do I have to uninstall and reinstall libreoffice? Thank you

Solution

For those of you who haven't resorted to the PPA and just want to install the missing pieces, Open Software Center, type libreoffice in the search box and select the missing components and install them. In my case, base is the only one I don't have installed. Example below:

If you've already unnecessarily installed the PPA you can revert to the distribution version vis the use of ppa-purge

ppa-purge provides a bash shell script capable of automatically down‐
       grading all packages in a given PPA back to the ubuntu versions.

       You  have  to  run it using root privileges

For further details in it's use please see the man page with the command

man ppa-purge

sudo apt install libreoffice ("libreoffice" is a meta-package that install all the additional parts of the office suite; optional extras aren't installed and must be explicitly installed if required). Before doing this remove the PPA and uninstall both packages.

@CelticWarrior That looks like the beginnings of a good answer to me.

@CelticWarrior expanded answer to cover purging the PPA :-)
