https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2385813&p=13743523#post13743523

I could reproduce the bug with a user to make libreoffice fail and make libreoffice start normally.
Problem is related to me having my homedire not under /home/user but under another mountpoint /data/home/user

The bug persists even if /etc/password contains /data/home/user
If /etc/passwd contains /home/user which is a symlink to /data/home/user, libreoffice won't start.

If I move the homdirectory completely to /home/user, the libreoffice starts without problems.

This was tested with a newly created user.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 17.10
Release: 17.10
Codename: artful

libreoffice is already the newest version (1:5.4.5-0ubuntu0.17.10.1).
