 Actually there are times when removing ~/.config/libreoffice is exactly
what
you need to do.

The LO installer is rather brain dead so when you get reported file missing
errors on LO start up, apt-get remove libreoffice && apt-get install
libreoffice
does not fix the problem.

The procedure that worked for me was:
apt-get remove libreoffice
rm -rf ~/.config/libreoffice
apt-get install libreoffice

all as root of course.

There may have been a better way to do this job but the above did work.

Cheers Bob
