This is totally unrelated to gnome-shell, please dont write such misleading summaries next time without countertesting on e.g. Unity.
The reason is that because of mergedlibs some dependencies much be moved from libreoffice-calc to -core, namely lp-solve. Installing lp-solve manually (or -calc, which pulls in lpsolve) should work around the problem. ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Björn Michaelsen (bjoern-michaelsen) ** Summary changed: - LibreOffice 4.1.x crashes on startup - Gnome-shell DE + LibreOffice 4.1.x does not start without libreoffice-calc installed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1221014 Title: LibreOffice 4.1.x does not start without libreoffice-calc installed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The latest LibreOffice (versions 4.1.0-2ubuntu1 and 4.1.1-0ubuntu1) do not start in the Gnome-shell DE. I have three different setups (one desktop with NVidia, one with ATI and one laptop with Intel), all with Saucy development distro with no additional PPA's enabled. LibreOfiice 4.1.x works in none of them. For example LibreOffice Writer just does not start at all. The cursor spins for a few seconds, then nothing. Sometimes I can see the LibreOffice starting logo and then nothing. However, downgrading to the previous Saucy version 4.0.2-0ubuntu5 helps, and all is well again.
