libldap-2.4.42+dfsg-2ubuntu3.2 crashes libreoffice

[jack]

Running xubuntu xenial, and after a recent upgrade w/ the following:
libldap-2.4-2:i386 (2.4.42+dfsg-2ubuntu3.2) over (2.4.42+dfsg-2ubuntu3.1)

all libreoffice applications (calc, writer, etc) crash on start, with the following error:

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/../program/libsclo.so: undefined symbol: _ZN9ScrollBar8SetRangeERK5Range

after investigating, i figured out it seems to be linked to the libldap upgrade, and indeed as a temporary workaround downgrading to 2.4.42+dfsg-2ubuntu3 allows libreoffice to work again.

I would be amazed if a libldap upgrade actually caused the error you've pasted here. It _should_ be completely unrelated - the symbol is a LibreOffice internal one you mentioned in a LibreOffice internal one.

Could you please paste the relevant transactions from /var/log/apt/history.log (the ones where libldap was upgraded and then downgraded - please show all packages involved in those transactions), and also the output of "dpkg-query -l libreoffice-calc libreoffice-core" and "ldd /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin"?

Alright, attached the different info as requested.

As previously said, only downgrading libldap allowed for libreoffice to work again... despite how odd it may seem/be. Not sure why, or how amazed you are, but there we are ;)

Thanks for looking into this, let me know if I can help some more.
