One possible solution is to use "bleachbit" to clean caches, cookies, ...

https://www.bleachbit.org/

Using bleachbit I never had problems with "destroying my system" by accidentally deleting files, but I make backups and am mindful when using this software :-)

Hi alexkemp!

I download LO 7.6.7.2 from here:
https://downloadarchive.documentfoundat … 6.7.2/deb/

Decide if you need x86 or x64 (the latest working version for x86 is 6.2.8.2).
You need the main package and the language file, maybe you also like the help file.

First unpack the main package to your home folder.
In a terminal enter:
cd Libre*
cd DEBS
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
delete the folder Libre... (because the other packages also start with the name Libre...)

Next unpack the language package to your home folder.
Repeat the former commands by using your keyboard's up cursor.
cd Libre*
cd DEBS
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
delete the folder Libre... (because the other packages also start with the name Libre...)

Finally unpack the help package to your home folder.
In a terminal enter:
cd Libre*
cd DEBS
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
delete the last final folder Libre...

Then LO should appear as several starters in your menu bar.

Hi there!

Here on Devuan 5 Xfce 64 bit with Libre Office 7.6.7.2 there are no problems with this document so far.
LO 7.6.7.2 is the latest version which doesn't need to install additionally python.

EDIT: typed wrong version of LO

The command "sudo lshw" provides this information on my MacBook Pro:
