before going too far into this.
It's quite possibly that your bad drive had a bad sector or similar in
one or more of these programs... especially since you didn't experience
these segfaults before, and no one else has either.
Something like:
aptitude reinstall '?reverse-Depends(libreoffice)~i';
aptitude reinstall '?reverse-Depends(kate)~i';
will do that for you.
If they still occur, enable coredumps, and get a backtrace of the
coredump using gdb or similar. [You'll also want to install all of the
-dbg packages you can for the libraries referenced in the backtrace.]
Thanks for your help. As suggested, I first ran debsum on kate and
libreoffice. All check sums were OK. I then ran the reverse-Depends as
suggested above on kate. This cleared the problem. Kate now works
fine. The reverse-Depends run on Libreoffice returned - E: Couldn't
configure pre-depend dpkg:amd64 for libreoffice-common:amd64, probably
a dependency cycle.
{{{Sorry about the prior message being cut short. I hit the wrong
button.}}}
In conclusion, I tried re-running the reverse-Depends on
libreoffice-common:amd64 but got the usual - 0 packages upgraded, 0
newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded - message when there
is nothing to do. Libreoffice still doesn't work. Same error of
soffice.bin segfault error4 ld-2.13.so

I finally purged libreoffice from my system and then, using locate,
removed every LO file left. I then re-installed libreoffice from
wheezy-backport to get the amd64 version. This cleared the problem.
Thanks for all of the help you gave.
