--- Comment #4 from Jens Radloff <plixplox at yahoo.de> ---
In fact I installed the packages of the 32-bit version of LO 6.2.5.2, which was
not my intention.

I detected my fault when I tried to install these packages not in Debian
Stretch (Debian 9.9, oldstable), but in Debian Buster (Debian 10.0, stable). 

When I executed the command "dpkg -i *" in Debian Buster, I got informed that
the packages I intended to install where 32 bit, while the target system is a
64 bit system. These packages could not be installed in Debian Buster.

I then downloaded the archives of the amdx64 version of LO 6.2.5.2 in Debian
Stretch and installed them. Trying to start swriter results in an Application
Error on the console. swriter does not start.

Thanks for this hint. Yes, indeed, the LO packages belonging to a certain
Debian release are adapted to Debian. This can be seen if one looks at the deb
file names of these packages, they seem to be special Debian versions of LO.

It is my personal PC.

The oldstable version of Debian (Stretch) gets supported until June 2020, so it
is not totally out of date yet.

My Debian oldstable installation (Stretch) is my productive system. 

My Debian stable installation (Buster) is my current testing system.

I noticed that LO 6.2.5.2, downloaded from the LO web site, runs successfully
in Debian stable (Debian Buster).

So I will upgrade my oldstable system (Stretch, my productive system) to the
stable version (Buster) in order to be able to use LO 6.2.5.2, downloaded from
the LO web site, in my productive system.

I have put this bug reported to RESOLVED, INVALID, as suggested by Jan-Marek
Glogowski.
