I am trying to open libreoffice but I get the following error:

$ ldconfig -p | grep -E "libxml2|libicuuc"
libxml2.so.16 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.16
libxml2.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libxml2.so

libicuuc.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libicuuc.so
I do see that the libreoffice version is expecting libxml2.so.2
Any pointers how this can be resolved?
Okay I found the issue, the libraries got updated when I did a full system
upgrade but since libreoffice package was in the list of ignore package list
it didn't get upgraded.
looks like some more packages (eg Java, Chromium, Texlive) need to be placed in
ignore package list.
warm regards
