I just tried

- deboostrap a jessie
- apt-get install libreoffice
- start LO to get a existing old profile
- change apt source to testing
- apt-get install libreoffice
<upgrades LO and many other libs from testing. bad. anyways.>
- start LO

starts fine.

Did you try to gdb "soffice" or "libreoffice" or whatever? Doesn't work,
it's scripts. You want soffice.bin.

But I believe strace would help here, more. (Same issue, unless you
use some -f's see man strace, you need them anyway, but it's better to strace
soffice.bin I think)
