Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Since this is a packaging related bug for a now unsupported release, we are going to close it. LibreOffice packaging has changed a good amount since this report.
