Björn Michaelsen, to get back to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1389858/comments/11 , it would appear it is not a a comprehensive WORKAROUND.
In Trusty, after performing the advised edit of main.xcd, and then closing the file, immediately attempting to open any file, or just Calc itself consistently crashed. For example, via a terminal: localc terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException' The crash report on this was sent to errors.ubuntu.com, and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1392059 . Unfortunately, reverting the edit doesn't fix the crashing. However, what does is uninstalling, and reinstalling via a terminal: sudo apt-get -y remove libreoffice-core libreoffice-base-core libreoffice-common && sudo apt-get -y install libreoffice-core libreoffice-base-core libreoffice-common libreoffice-calc libreoffice-writer libreoffice-draw libreoffice-pdfimport libreoffice-gtk Would I be missing something on the WORKAROUND procedure? lsb_release -rd && apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 libreoffice-calc: Installed: 1:4.2.7-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:4.2.7-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:4.2.7-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages -- 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/1389858 Title: Libreoffice calc 4.2.7-0ubuntu1 not updating references after sort Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Update to LibreOffice 4.2.7 is causing incorrect sort behaviour in Calc.
