Hi Kenneth -
This mailing list is actually for contributors dealing with quality
assurance. You'll likely want to ask the user mailing list - more people
monitor that with a wider response. You list a whole list of issues and
it's usually hard to get responses with meta questions.
My suggestion
Greetings:
I wonder if the libreOfficeWriter problem can be addressed there. Mine is
nested in Ubuntu 14.04.2.
I ask your assist, getting a libreofficewriter re-config/work around, which
re-gains ability to get documents to open, like they have for five years.
Just did a sudo apt-get purge
