[Test Case] 1. apt install cpdb-backend-gcp 2. run LibreOffice [Regression Potential] * We're backporting a patch that has already been applied to 6.2.0+ with no regression, so potential for regression here is low. * A combination of autopkgtests and manual testing should provide reasonable confidence that no regressions sneaked in. [Original Description] On starting up LibreOffice, it crashes. Starting from a terminal with just "libreoffice", I see the "general open a document" libreoffice window and a popup dialog titled "LibreOffice 6.0 Document Recovery", with text "Due to an unexpected error, LibreOffice crashed. All the files you were working on will now be saved. The next time LibreOffice is launched, your files will be recovered automatically. The following files will be recovered:" (and no files to be recovered are listed). Clicking "OK" on this dialog hides it and the general window, and then shows them both again; clicking OK on that dialog exits. LibreOffice does not start. Running "libreoffice --norestore" gives a stack trace: $ libreoffice --norestore Application Error Fatal exception: Signal 6 Stack: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3(+0x13568)[0x7fa00e2c8568] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3(+0x3c3c6)[0x7fa00e2f13c6] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x3ef20)[0x7fa00df02f20] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(gsignal+0xc7)[0x7fa00df02e97] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(abort+0x141)[0x7fa00df04801] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(+0x2d5b562)[0x7fa01126a562] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(_ZN11Application5AbortERKN3rtl8OUStringE+0xa2)[0x7fa0111f61c2] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(+0x1d0d580)[0x7fa01021c580] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(+0x2cecb6d)[0x7fa0111fbb6d] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3(+0x163b2)[0x7fa00e2cb3b2] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3(+0x3c28f)[0x7fa00e2f128f] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x3ef20)[0x7fa00df02f20] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x18e5a1)[0x7fa00e0525a1] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml+0x124)[0x7fa00c0e7aa4] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(+0x2d6972b)[0x7fa01127872b] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0xc9156)[0x7fa00c0dd156] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0xc9398)[0x7fa00c0dd398] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0x8d143)[0x7fa00c0a1143] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0x8db66)[0x7fa00c0a1b66] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0xc0fc2)[0x7fa00c0d4fc2] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0x8d143)[0x7fa00c0a1143] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0x8d179)[0x7fa00c0a1179] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_main_context_dispatch+0x155)[0x7fa00baf60f5] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0(+0x4c4c0)[0x7fa00baf64c0] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_main_context_iteration+0x2c)[0x7fa00baf654c] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtk3lo.so(+0x414d4)[0x7f9ff8b524d4] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(_ZN11Application5YieldEv+0x2e)[0x7fa0111f68ce] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(_ZN11Application7ExecuteEv+0x45)[0x7fa0111f8075] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(+0x1d12fa3)[0x7fa010221fa3] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(+0x2cee756)[0x7fa0111fd756] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(_Z6SVMainv+0x30)[0x7fa0111fd860] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(soffice_main+0x115)[0x7fa0102430c5] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin(+0x78b)[0x55dd01f4578b] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe7)[0x7fa00dee5b97] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin(+0x7ca)[0x55dd01f457ca] I have tried entirely removing my profile, ~/.config/libreoffice , but the same problem still exhibits.
