Hello,
I also use testing and encounter same problem. Couple days ago I'm
upgrading libreoffice from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4-3 (latest in testing). After
upgrade, everytime I start libreoffice it failed with "ERROR 4 forking
process"
Please advise if there's any additional info I can provide to solve
this.
Thank you
