Actually, I did not write LibreOffice_4.1 does not start ONLY in Gnome-shell DE. I did not test it in any other DE, so I did not make other claims either. In fact, I only use Gnome-shell.
As to this bug. The correct solution is to rebuild libreoffice-writer to depend on lpsolve. ** Summary changed: - LibreOffice 4.1.x does not start without libreoffice-calc installed + LibreOffice 4.1.x does not start without libsolve installed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1221014 Title: LibreOffice 4.1.x does not start without libsolve installed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The latest LibreOffice (versions 4.1.0-2ubuntu1 and 4.1.1-0ubuntu1) do not start in the Gnome-shell DE. I have three different setups (one desktop with NVidia, one with ATI and one laptop with Intel), all with Saucy development distro with no additional PPA's enabled. LibreOfiice 4.1.x works in none of them. For example LibreOffice Writer just does not start at all. The cursor spins for a few seconds, then nothing. Sometimes I can see the LibreOffice starting logo and then nothing. However, downgrading to the previous Saucy version 4.0.2-0ubuntu5 helps, and all is well again.
