<div>Turns out this is mainly just a problem with Synaptic, which is not surprising. What a mess. I kept going in circles for awhile, then uninstalled everything with Synaptic, closed that and did an 'apt-get install libreoffice', which went fine. I should have tried that right away, Synaptic is not the most reliable tool.</div>

I have been following dev and discuss mail lists for<br>
LibreOffice, and I have not noticed your problem mentioned.<br>
<br>
If Debian support (I am not familiar with it) is not<br>
helpful, you might ask on the discuss list at The Document<br>
Foundation, <a href="mailto:discuss-DL+rna6QvqRRQ0oMI7lyI3G1qET/BF4J@public.gmane.org">discuss@documentfoundation.org</a>; IIRC you do not<br>
have to be subscribed to the the list, but it might be<br>
easiest: <a href="mailto:discuss%2Bsubscribe-DL+rna6QvqRRQ0oMI7lyI3G1qET/BF4J@public.gmane.org">discuss+subscribe-DL+rna6QvqRRQ0oMI7lyI3G1qET/BF4J@public.gmane.org</a>.<br>
<br>
This suggestion is a bit remote from your problem, but your<br>
question has gone unaddressed since yesterday, so I am<br>
throwing it out.<br>
