Sorry, my misunderstanding. The version I gave is the version of
CentOS7, the version of LibreOffice is 5.3.6.1-25.el7_9.

 Why not simply download the latest and greatest version LibreOffice
from
 their we site I've been doing that for several years on both Centos 7
 and now Rocky 8 and it has worked without fail.

Such problems are inevitable when you choose the long-term stability of an 
old operating system like RHEL. There will always be a tug-of-war between 
the needs of bleeding-edge apps and the aging OS. Apps want to use features 
in the latest libraries. So they're either crippled when run on the older 
OS or they carry more recent copies of those libraries with them, solely 
for their own use.


I'm a fan of sandboxing for security. I've installed web applications (like 
NodeRED and WordPress) in their own user directories to protect the OS. The 
trendy solution is containers. I'm worried about how easy it is to back 
those up. Do I back up the contents, or the whole container file? Ideally 
I'd just need to incrementally back up the locally-changing part, the 
configuration and data, since the installer has everything else. The other 
solution is OS-independent packaging, like those you named. I wasn't 
familiary with them so I looked them up:

I am running the default version of LibreOffice 5.3.6.1 on CentOS 7. This is 
quite an old version and has a serious bug in Calc, possibly an errant pointer, 
that frequently locks up spreadsheets.

Has anyone installed a later version of LO on CentOS 7? I would prefer a 
version that is not flatpak, snap or appimage etc...
