That's interesting indeed.

Bingo! ;o))

That one worked.
Renamed the recent profile in .config/libreoffice/4 and voila
Libreoffice went back to service.
Had to reinstall all the extensions and copy
.config/libreoffice/4/user/registrymodifications.xcu from the old profile to
the newly created one, to restore recent documents and data bases.

Asked for bug closure..

Thanks for Your help.

I wish someone had submitted a bug about this in the first place as this
should never have been relegated to thirdparty configuration performed
only after reading the wiki. I did not realize there was no bug report
for this... well, now there is one: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61852

I wish someone had submitted bug reports about this in the first place,
especially as in the  case of dovecot this should never have been
relegated to thirdparty configuration performed only after reading the
wiki. I did not realize there was no bug report for this... well, now
there is one: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61852
