Unfortunately I'm still not out of the woods.

The TDF version of LibreOffice isn't detected by bibus. Which means no bibliography, which is pretty much a deal-breaker.

So I played with the debian/testing version again, and managed to get it to not crash with my file by deleting my user profile. Then I rebuilt the profile... and it started crashing again. And now if I start again with a virgin profile, it still crashes.

I tried to look at the source for bibus (it's all in python) to work out how it detects whether Libre/Open-Office is present, but don't know enough about the LibreOffice API to know what I'm really looking for.

So I still have a basically unusable system. :(

Hi :)
Phew, i'm glad to hear you solved it.  Presumably you copied the old User 
Profile to the new place to get your previous settings and Extensions back?  
You can always try the repo version another time and then perhaps do a parallel 
install after that maybe.
Regards from
Tom :)

You might have already tried this but it looks like you didn't
mention it.  Can you download the TDF's official version instead of
using one from the repos?
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=deb-x86〈=en-GB

I have tried it now, and it works! Thank you very much. It messed with
my desktop integration a little and put the configuration files in a
different place, but when I'd worked that out it all looked good.

I didn't bother with the parallel installation though, actually didn't notice 
that you'd shown me that link until it was too late. I guess I can go back to 
the debian distro when they get 3.4.6?

Annoyingly the main downloads page tries to give me the .Rpm instead
of the .Deb but also it lets you choose the more stable 3.4.6 instead
of the 3.5.2.

It worked for me, ie offered me the .deb installation.

Cheers,
Jonathan
