Good to hear. Actually, looking again at the backtrace from comment 20, that
looks like the same problem, so I suppose the same should be working with
LibreOffice 6.1 as well. There's no need to attach any additional backtraces
right now.

The problem is caused by the Common Print Dialog (CPD) and its integration into
LibreOffice. There was an initial implementation as part of a GSOC (Google
Summer of Code) project, but it's probably not yet "ready for production". (I
don't know about CPD in general, s. e.g.
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cpdb-libs if you're interested in more
details.)

Unless you installed CPD intentionally and need it for some reason (e.g.
integration of Google Cloud Printing,...), the easiest way to get rid of the
problem quickly is probably to just uninstall the CPD-related packages. You'll
probably see those when you run

    dpkg -l 'libcpd*' 'cpdb*'

(But please check carefully to not install another unrelated package that you
still need.)

(I'll possibly have a quick look at the underlying issue once I find time to do
so and to set up an Ubuntu VM for testing. There's probably something that
should be changed in LibreOffice to avoid that crash in the future...)
