            Bug ID: 132528
           Summary: Crash when opening Base (no .odb file) on Linux Mint
                    18.3
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Base
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: cme_linux at protonmail.com

OS:  Linux Mint 18.3 with all current updates

LO 6.4.3.2 release, .deb files from
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/

Locale:  At a Linux shell prompt, the "locale" command says LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Symptoms:  As soon as I open LO Base (the application, not an .odb file), I get
the dialog box whose title says "LibreOffice 6.4 Document Recovery".  I am
unable to continue past this to create a database; I'm eventually shown the
same document-recovery dialog again, before I can get to the window that would
let me create a database.  

I am able to open an existing (made with LO 6.3) .odb database with LO 6.4.  

History:  Originally I had LO 6.2.8rc2 installed from the LO PPA
(http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu xenial main).  I have also
recently tried:  

* the LO 6.3.5.2 .deb files from the same LO download page, and 
* the Flatpak LO install from within the past couple of weeks.  

LO 6.2.8rc2 and 6.3.5.2 seemed to run OK, but I think there is a bugfix in
6.4.3.2 which I want to upgrade to.  The Flatpak install didn't crash, but had
some problem with Base that I don't remember.  (I am trying to use the embedded
Firebird, and I think I might not have been able to select the
embedded-Firebird option when creating a database in the Flatpak version of
LO.)  

I don't remember the exact sequence in which I installed & un-installed the
various versions.  
* I believe I've never had the download-page .debs of both 6.3 & 6.4 installed
at the same time.  I've un-installed each of the 2 versions by using Synaptic
before running "dpkg -i *.deb" on the other version.  
* I'm pretty sure I have had download-page .deb + PPA version + Flatpak version
installed all at the same time.  
* Currently, I have the PPA version & Flatpak version un-installed, and only
the download-page .debs (of 6.4) installed so I can test this problem for this
bug report.  By the time the LO QA team follows up with me, I might have a
different version installed, but I'll try my best to do further testing if
requested.  

Thanks in advance.
