Using Debian testing and uograded a few days ago.
jp@OSUCHSA227:~$ uname -r
4.19.0-5-amd64
Most aps are launching Ok; exceptions VLC and Libreoffice, systems tools in Cinnamon failure seems a know problem.
Repository 1.6.3.0~rc2-1
LO would flash a banner then not open any of its components under Cinnamon or Xfce.
Removed it with Synaptic along with other files connected (e.g. libboost).
Does have java
jp@OSUCHSA227:~$ java -version
openjdk version “11.0.4” 2019-07-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.4+11-post-Debian-1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.4+11-post-Debian-1, mixed mode, sharing)
Downlaoded the most recent stable, but gdebi opened multiple windows on the group of *debs and failed.
Tried the snap of 6.2.5.2
jp@OSUCHSA227:~$ libreoffice --version
LibreOffice 6.2.5.2 a887734edd14b7c31b8ab527c0422d03c5e16f8b
Icons appear in menus. But, this shows the cycling icon, then also fails to start under Cinnamon, or Xfce from menus (no cycling just fails). Checked permissions and the ones I checked are world executable.
jp@OSUCHSA227:~$ snap find libreoffice
