LibreOffice won't launch on Ubuntu 20.04

~$ libreoffice --writer
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so: undefined symbol: hb_graphite2_face_get_gr_face

I tried uninstalling according to the instructions here and then reinstalling: How to uninstall LibreOffice?

I have upgraded all of my packages.

How do I proceed with debugging? Do I somehow have the wrong version of libmergedlo.so?

EDIT:

Requested in comments:

~$ ldd /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so | grep local
    libboost_locale.so.1.71.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_locale.so.1.71.0 (0x00007fe5591f3000)
    libharfbuzz.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libharfbuzz.so.0 (0x00007fe558df5000)

Also tried:

  • Removing ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/config/javasettings_Linux_X86_64.xml
  • Uninstalling, manually removing /usr/lib/libreoffice, reinstalling
  • sudo apt-get install --reinstall libreoffice libreoffice-core

To reinstall use:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libreoffice libreoffice-core

You have to remove problematic library with:

sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libharfbuzz.so.0
