Hmm, odd. That suggests a problem with removing and reinstalling LibreOffice
that needs to be addressed. Logically, removing LibreOffice and the
.libreoffice folder and then reinstalling should reset your LibreOffice
install. You shouldn't have to reinstall your OS to repair a damaged
application.
apt-file search shows that to be installed by libreoffice-core so one
would have expected a re-install of libreoffice to replace it.
Matt was right - I had manually deleted libreoffice stuff - but only after I
had purged each package using apt. The Nautilus package had at that time lost
its ability to show hidden files - part of known bug, so I had missed
~/.libreoffice I will be more careful next time. But there were other good
reasons to re-install the OS and it is not especially time consuming.
