LibreOffice packages install new version instead of updating

I am not interested in "figuring it out" as the nerds in forum always suggest. Problem is I am an admin of a huge IT infrastructure and have to figure out thousands of important things, thus, alas, don't have time to figure out these issues.

For the life of me I cannot figure why first StarOffice, then OpenOffice and finally LibreOffice cannot package their releases so that they would update themselves on Linux machines. Instead they install a new version every time, and I have to go into yum and uninstall the old one.

All other software I deal with - hundreds of packages - clean up after themselves and update, but not whateverOffice.
