What did you run before? 1:3.5.4-4?

Check your permissions in your user dir. Is those root:root? If yes, fix them
This sounds like a old bug which is fixed in recent packages (see #619263).
Was that ~/.config/libreoffice freshly crreated/broken by the upgrade?

NOTE: #619263 is fixed in various packages. You need to have all of them uptodate
*and after the upgrade it won't create those wrong permissions anymore*. It won't fix
older breakage up.

If that doesn't help, we need more info like strace of soffice.bin...

~/.libreoffice is not the user dir (anymore), it's (standards-conformant)
~/.config/libreoffice. Check that too, please.

And it looks you did something (broken) like apt-get install libreoffice
instead of a proper upgrade[1], so it can very well be that some stuff
is old (especially extensions which is what #619263 affected)

you installed evolution from sid...)
