[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

Creating ~/snap/libreoffice/current/.cache/gdk-pixbuf-loaders.cache with the loaders correctly pointing to the libs inside the snap fixes the issue.

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

And it appears it's not correctly created by default because the desktop-launch helper looks for ~/.last_revision, which in a classic snap isn't in a confined home, it's in the actual user's home directory. Deleting that file and re-launching the app fixes the issue too.

Submitted a fix upstream: https://github.com/ubuntu/snapcraft-desktop-helpers/pull/66

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

Closing now as this was a test snap that was never published anywhere, and the issue was resolved (note that I've reverted to strict confinement).
