I'm so glad you found the solution to your problem! I often remove packages
with:
sudo apt purge libreoffice*
Since apt succeeded apt-get. Also "remove" will uninstall a package but
not remove it's config files. "purge" will do both uninstall and removal
of config files, so there was some config somewhere messing things up
for you.

Title:
[SOLVED] libreoffice (var. versions under v.7.x) on arm64, terminate
called after throwing an instance of
'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException' \ Fatal exception: Signal 6
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Hi there,
I've had the recurring problem on multiple 64-bit Ubuntu installations
on multiple Raspberry Pi 4B's [aarch64/arm64] where libreoffice
crashes on startup -- this seems to be a persistent bug, as it has
happened to me on 20.04 LTS (arm64) as well as more recently on 20.10
groovy (arm64), whether I've used the official APT packages or the
LibreOffice Launchpad PPA's.
I've tried looking around for the bug and for example, deleted the
existing user config etc. -- to no avail.
As for the window manager, I'm running on Xubuntu (Xfce/Xfwm4) and
with the latest available upstream kernel (5.8.0.1020-raspi), although
LibreOffice crashing on startup has been a persisting problem on my
RPi4B Ubuntu installations for quite some time now, probably around a
half a year or so. Every now and then, as the apt packages get
updated, LibreOffice actually works (!), so that's kind of odd.
Here's the error message I get (same crash applies for all other
libreoffice executables that I've tried):
$ libreoffice

As for troubleshooting, I've been following i.e. these instructions
for suggestions on how to try fixing the install [from:
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=53761 ]:
1. Made sure I don't have any existing OpenOffice packages installed
(ran 'dpkg -l | grep openoffice').
2. Deleted the entire configuration directory ("libreoffice/") under
"~/.config/".
3. I still can't even run 'libreoffice --help' without getting the
same error message as otherwise (although with 'libreoffice --help'
it's much shorter):
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'

I've found references to this error message online i.e. at:
1. https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84006
... where the bug report has been closed due to "insufficient data", after
lingering around since at least 2014, and affecting i386/amd64 builds as well.
2. Way more in-depth talk on ArchLinux forums on this:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=206869 ("This seems to be a
java related error, but I have nothing java related installed.") <=
I've tried some of the suggested solutions over there as well, such as
setting the environment variable "SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen".
I do have the libgtk2.0 libraries installed, so that doesn't apply as
a workaround either -- I've also tried removing libreoffice-related
apt packages altogether ('sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*') and
reinstalling, that hasn't helped out either.
The runtime exception seems to be related to the UNO API, as described in
LibreOffice's documentation:
https://api.libreoffice.org/docs/idl/ref/RuntimeException_8idl.html
All help to resolve this is kindly appreciated!
