Tested on devuan daedalus, also fails for 24.2 Libreoffice version shipped with distro works ok
Can you check if the issue occurs with more recent version of LibreOffice? Thanks.
Test with last stable 25.8.4 (no Spanish help or language pack) gives the same error $ /opt/libreoffice25.8/program/soffice (soffice:16411): GLib-CRITICAL **: 10:06:28.399: the GVariant format string '(o)' has a type of '(o)' but the given value has a type of '()' (soffice:16411): GLib-CRITICAL **: 10:06:28.399: g_variant_get: assertion 'valid_format_string (format_string, TRUE, value)' failed (soffice:16411): GLib-CRITICAL **: 10:06:28.399: g_variant_is_object_path: assertion 'string != NULL' failed (soffice:16411): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 10:06:28.399: g_dbus_proxy_new_sync: assertion 'g_variant_is_object_path (object_path)' failed (soffice:16411): GLib-CRITICAL **: 10:06:28.516: the GVariant format string '(o)' has a type of '(o)' but the given value has a type of '()' (soffice:16411): GLib-CRITICAL **: 10:06:28.516: g_variant_get: assertion 'valid_format_string (format_string, TRUE, value)' failed (soffice:16411): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 10:06:28.516: g_dbus_proxy_new_sync: assertion 'g_variant_is_object_path (object_path)' failed free(): invalid pointer Unspecified Application Error
