libreoffice broken after du from 3.8.2 to 3.8.4

[bad_aptitude]

The message I get when launching Write or Calc is

LibreOffice 3.5 - Fatal error
<The application cannot be started.
[context="shared"] caught unexpected exception!

I tried redoing the du this evening but no success. The problem still exists when I go back to previous kernels.
Should I just wait or ....?

It is not a general problem:

Code Select Expand

root@tosh205:/# uname -r
3.8-4.towo-siduction-686
root@tosh205:/# apt-cache policy libreoffice
libreoffice:
 Installed: 1:3.5.4+dfsg2-1
 Candidate: 1:3.5.4+dfsg2-1
 Version table:
*** 1:3.5.4+dfsg2-1 0
       500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages
       100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Also LO 4 from experimental is running fine on kernel 3.8.4 on my other machine.  I don't think your problem is the kernel.  You might try purging and reinstalling LO and look for errors or dependency problems.

Thanks for the suggestion Dibl.
I tried purging and then reinstalling all LibreOffice packages. There were no dependency problems noted.

I am still getting the same error

I suggest reopening this bugreport: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60934

Thanks for the suggestion Devil.

I discovered that this is a common but sporadic problem when Libreoffice is installed (and updated?).

I aslo found this simple solution, which is:

remove the "lbreoffice" folder from the " .config" folder in the $home directory.

Libreoffice works just fine after that.
