Fatal error: context='shared' causes an exception

[pako1511]

After one of Debian’s safe-upgrades I ended up with this error window message.

LibreOffice 3.5 - Fatal Error (x-window title)

The application cannot be started.
[context=‘shared’] caught unexpected exception!

I’ve uninstalled LibreOffice 3.5 and reinstalled using the *.deb packages provided in the download section, nothing changes. I’ve removed the .libreoffice directory in my home directory (as suggested by multiple posts), and noticed that libreoffice doesn’t create it anymore, and the error persists.

Since 3.5, LO uses ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user to save the user profile. So, just deleting ~/.libreoffice/3/user won’t work for you.
