From LO 5.1.4 to LO 5.1.6 there are more than 150 fixes. For this reasons, please consider to update the LO packages to 5.1.6 in Xenial.

Thanks

Please consider this request to pull the latest LO 5.1 images inside the xenial repositories. Among the other problems, LO 5.1.6 fixes several crashes which make really difficult to work with Writer in Xenial. For a LTS I "want" the latest and more stable version of LO 5.1 to be available for everyone.
I don't want to add a PPA if I can get this new LO version through a simple software update.

I know the latest updates of the 5.2 family are already available with snap packages, but LO 5.1 is preinstalled in the system, then it's the priority choice for the majority of users.
