Bug Description

[Impact]

 * LibreOffice 5.4.2 is the second bugfix release of the fresh 5.4 line, after 5.4.1 (currently in 17.10).
   For a list of fixed bugs compared to 5.4.1 see the list of bugs fixed in RC1 and RC2:
     https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.4.2/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs
     https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.4.2/RC2#List_of_fixed_bugs

 * Given the nature of the project, the complexity of the codebase and the high level of quality assurance upstream, it is preferable to SRU a minor release rather than cherry-pick selected bug fixes.

 * Libreoffice 5.4.2 (RC2, which is effectively the final release) has been available for users to test since 2017-10-04 in the official "LibreOffice Pre-Releases" PPA (https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-prereleases/+packages).

[Test Case]

 * No specific test case, bugs fixed upstream hopefully come with unit/regression tests, and the release itself is extensively exercised upstream (both in an automated manner and manually) by a community of testers. The release went through 2 release candidates.

 * The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests, those should be run and verified to pass.

 * General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite should be carried out.

[Regression Potential]

 * A new release with more than 100 bug fixes always carries the potential for introducing regressions, even though it's a bugfix-only release, meaning that no new features were added, and no existing features were removed.

 * A combination of autopkgtests and careful smoke testing as described above should provide reasonable confidence that no regressions sneaked in.

As a part of the Stable Release Updates quality process a search for Launchpad bug reports using the version of libreoffice from artful-proposed was performed and bug 1733849 was found. Please investigate this bug report to ensure that a regression will not be created by this SRU. In the event that this is not a regression remove the "verification-failed" tag from this bug report and add the tag "bot-stop-nagging" to bug 1733849 (not this bug). Thanks!

Olivier, could you take a look at the mentioned bug by the bot? I would like to make sure this does not introduce any regression.

@Łukasz: I'm looking into it. It appears that the reporter still experiences the crash after downgrading to 1:5.4.1-0ubuntu1, so in that regard it wouldn't be a regression.
In any case, I asked for more details to continue investigating the issue.

After some back and forth with the reporter, bug #1733849 has been confirmed to be a duplicate of bug #1699772, so not a regression.
