Bug Description
[Impact]
* LibreOffice 5.4.6 is the sixth bugfix release of the still 5.4 line. Version 5.4.5 is currently in 17.10.
For a list of fixed bugs compared to 5.4.5 see the list of bugs fixed in the RC1 and RC2:

* Given the nature of the project, the complexity of the codebase and the high level of quality assurance upstream, it is preferable to SRU a minor release rather than cherry-pick selected bug fixes.
* Libreoffice 5.4.6 (RC2, which is effectively the final release) has been available for users to test since 2018-03-21 in the official "LibreOffice 5.4.x" PPA (https:/
[Test Case]
* No specific test case, bugs fixed upstream hopefully come with unit/regression tests, and the release itself is extensively exercised upstream (both in an automated manner and manually) by a community of testers. This release went through 2 release candidates.
* The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests, those should be run and verified to pass.
* General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite should be carried out (see https:/
[Regression Potential]
* Two new minor releases with a total of 58 bug fixes always carry the potential for introducing regressions, even though they are bugfix-only releases, meaning that no new features were added, and no existing features were removed.
* A combination of autopkgtests and careful smoke testing as described above should provide reasonable confidence that no regressions sneaked in.
