That is correct, libicu is v66 in ubuntu 20.04. Perhaps something funky happened in your update from 18.10 to 20.04. I would recommend removing libreoffice and reinstalling it $ sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade $ sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice* $ sudo apt install libreoffice Then lowriter should work. ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1882237 Title: Libre Office doesn't start at all (wrong library version) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1882237/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
