--- Comment #8 from stragu <stephane.guillou at member.fsf.org> ---
Hm uninstalling it would also remove packages like gnome-shell and
ubuntu-session, I'm not sure I want to try that...

I also tried:
- installing LO 6.0.7 from debs (because that is the version offered by Ubuntu
18.04): same issue

But then I tried:
- installing LO 7.0.6 from PPA
http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/libreoffice-7-0/ubuntu : the wizard works!
(although the other versions installed still don't)

So I guess using a PPA (or the default packages offered by the distribution)
also installs whatever was missing for the wizard to work.

But it's the first time I have this kind of issue, having been testing
LibreOffice for a while, using mainly the debs provided by the LO website: I
have never seen a feature fail because I was on an Ubuntu version that was
released 3 years ago.
Shouldn't this be looked into anyway, as Ubuntu 18.04 is still supported until
at least 2023 and I expect many people to download new versions from the
website?

In case it is helpful to identify what made the difference, here is the list of
packages installed from the PPA when I did "sudo apt install libreoffice":

coinor-libcbc3 coinor-libcoinmp1v5 firebird3.0-common firebird3.0-common-doc

What could be missing from the debs downloaded from the website?
