I can confirm that LibreOffice Base is crashing on Ubuntu 17.04 during database creation (launched Base, in 'Database Wizard' selected 'Create a new database', 'Embedded database:' -> 'HSQLDB Embedded', click 'Next', click 'Finish', save database file in /tmp/db.odb). After that Base is crashing silently.
I can't install libreoffice-dbg package on zesty (I reported bug 1702556 about it).
LibreOffice Writer does not crash in Zesty.
