Hi :) Regressions are good to know about. Any chance of posting a bug-report about it? Perhaps others will be able to narrow it down further or it might be narrowed down enough already. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
The {sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*} looks good enough but you might only need {sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*} as the extra dot might mean some packages get left behind. In LibreOffice's case i think you are fine though.
