It feels slightly icky because it pulls in a much larger set of
build-deps, but this FTBFS is easily fixed by relaxing the B-D-I on
libreoffice-writer-nogui to libreoffice-writer.  So this is very
possibly a bug in libreoffice-writer-nogui.

I went ahead and pushed a patch to packaging repo.  If someone feels
strongly about keeping the build-deps small for this arch-all package
and sticking with libreoffice-writer-nogui, you can reproduce by
starting with a clean chroot and running this bit of the build:

  soffice --writer --headless --convert-to pdf doc/um/gpredict-user-manual.odt

And adding build-deps until you no longer get this error.

  Error: source file could not be loaded

I will try to take another look at it before uploading.

Cheers,
