When I try to use Mail Merge wizard LibreOffice says that it needs to restart. After restarting it gives the same message.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open new document in Writer
2.Tools: Mail Merge Wizard
3.

Actual Results:
Message box "Restart LibreOffice". If "Restart Now" is selected LibreOffice restarts (and whole process repeats). If "Restart Later" is selected Mail Merge cancels.

Expected Results:
Start merging

6.0 branch is EOL (like 6.1 and 6.2 branches)
Could you give a try at last stable LO version 6.3.4 by using LO ppa https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa ?
