Bug#956586: Problems upgrading LibreOffice from "1:6.1.5-3+deb10u5" to "1:6.4.2-3"

[Сергей Фёдоров <serfyod0vr@yandex.ru>]

I didn't want to keep anyone busy for nothing. But if when updating LibreOffice
it is suggested to delete "libreoffice-gtk2" and it is not suggested to install
"libreoffice-gtk3" of the new version, then this is not correct. LibreOffice Update
without installing "libreoffice-gtk3" of the new version, it leads to degradation
features of the document saving window (a completely different and inconvenient window).
I realized this after reinstalling Debian for parsing, what happens with the Libreoffice update.
