Ubuntu 14.04
Texlive info :
TeX 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2013/Debian)
kpathsea version 6.1.1
Following this post I'm thinking about completely removing LaTeX and reinstalling from the official tug site (can't post link, reputation)
The problem that I'm having is that the Official repositories seem to be behind the official versions, and I wanted to use TikZ 3.0, I currently have version 2.10 installed and seems to be the latest that I can get from the Ubuntu Repo.
What I'm asking is how I would go about removing and reinstalling Tex and whether there are any risks that I should be aware of in regards to projects that I have already written.
If I run dpkg -l | grep texlive I get these packages (I've cropped the end of
the info off. Here's a link to the output of dkkg -l | grep tex [can't post
link, rep], I'm guessing that all of these packages would have to be
reinstalled after upgrading, or can I just do the 'main' one?

it seems that the best approach
apt-get remove --purge packagenamek
I'm not sure what the best approach is here though, should I delete everything tex and then reinstall everything, or are there select parts that I should remove? I'm not sure if having some parts handled by ubuntu repos and others from Tan site is a problem or not.
edit - I have had to remove some of the links that I originally had because I don't have enough rep, I'll add them in a comment.
Thanks !
