Description Muhammet Kara 2020-08-30 15:00:11 UTC 
When there is an error in the downloaded list of extensions as JSON, it might cause a crash of LibreOffice.

An example error seen on terminal on such a crash:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'orcus::json::parse_error'
  what():  string: illegal escape character 'u'. (offset=204406)

Seems like we need some try-catches, and extra checks.
