Bug#856697: [libreoffice-writer] libreoffice-writer missing required JRE

[Tony Sultana <chaz.anton@gmail.com>]

When I installed the libreoffice metapackage the JRE error disappeared but the LLVM remained.  I am troubleshooting the LLVM but I too don't think it is related to libreoffice.

Thanks.

Tony

Just tried it again, and indeed it works here. Current stretch. No idea
what you did which involves LLVM and/or enable-value-profiling but THAT is
probably your issue.
