Hi Wookey, > I am running the jessie version. libreoffice was working fine, thenI > tried upgrading to the 1:5.0.2-1~bpo8+1 in jessie-backports, but that > didn't work (similar error but a complaint about 'javaldx', whatever that is)
javaldx is what gives LO the path of the Java JRE (if you want/need it). A warning there can be ignored if you don't need the functionality requiring Java. > carefully downgrading everything back to the jessie versions got rid > of the javaldx complaint, but I still have this runtimeexception.

OK. Note that the config is NOT in .libreoffice but .config/libreoffice nowadays if you use some FDO-compstible desktop.... > Some searching told me that unopkg is 'universal network objects'. Well, UNO is. unopkg is for extensio (de-)registering if you install them by hand... > unopkg list says: > "ERROR: CONFIGURATION_LAYERS: missing ":" > > unopkg failed." > > which may be a clue as on a working machine it says [...] > Or is that a red herring?

It doesn't seem to be in /etc/libreoffice root@Cubie:/# grep -r CONFIGURATION_LAYERS /usr/lib/ure/ root@Cubie:/# grep -r CONFIGURATION_LAYERS /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/ /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/fundamentalrc:CONFIGURATION_LAYERS=xcsxcu:${BRAND_BASE_DIR}/share/registry res:${BRAND_BASE_DIR}/share/registry bundledext:${${BRAND_BASE_DIR}/program/unorc:BUNDLED_EXTENSIONS_USER}/registry/com.sun.star.comp.deployment.configuration.PackageRegistryBackend/configmgr.ini sharedext:${${BRAND_BASE_DIR}/program/unorc:SHARED_EXTENSIONS_USER}/registry/com.sun.star.comp.deployment.configuration.PackageRegistryBackend/configmgr.ini userext:${${BRAND_BASE_DIR}/program/unorc:UNO_USER_PACKAGES_CACHE}/registry/com.sun.star.comp.deployment.configuration.PackageRegistryBackend/configmgr.ini user:${$BRAND_BASE_DIR/program/bootstraprc:UserInstallation}/user/registrymodifications.xcu Binary file /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libconfigmgrlo.so matches but probably it's broken in your user config, not the system?
