27 This is intuition, not knowledge, but /var/run is, I think, stuff that
28 should appear when you log in, and disappear when you log out.

30 Log out, log in as root (or su from another user) and see if
31 /var/run/user/1000 exists. Rename it to something else in case you need
32 the contents, and then see if libreoffice works.
33
34 If everything seems okay, get rid of the old version
35
36 (My system has multiple users, I'm the only person logged in, and folder
37 1000 (my user-id) is the only one there. I guess somehow some old file
38 has got "stuck" and needs deleting.)
