Bug Description
Selecting Tools=>Bibliography in LibreOffice Writer will ask for missing software to be installed. After this, Software Centre will say that "libreoffice-base" couldn't be found.
I am not sure if the cause of this issue is in the way that Software Centre is invoked?
The package libreoffice-base exists and can be installed with "apt install libreoffice-base", after which using the Bibliography tool works fine.
