Of course, -plasma just contains stuff useful to KDE, not the KDEish UI. As does -gnome, that one also doesn't contain the GTk3-ish UI. > I had to look at the Debian Wiki [2] to find out that the proper package > to install is "libreoffice-kde5". That info is wrong (well, obsolete): $ apt-cache show libreoffice-kde5 Package: libreoffice-kde5 Source: libreoffice Version: 1:7.0.4-4 Installed-Size: 217 Maintainer: Debian LibreOffice Maintainers <debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org> Architecture: amd64 Depends: libreoffice-kf5, libreoffice-plasma Description-en: transitional package for LibreOffice "KDE 5" integration LibreOffice is a full-featured office productivity suite that provides a near drop-in replacement for Microsoft(R) Office. . This package used to contain the "KDE 5" integration. It was split into -kf5 (KF5 UI plugin) and -plasma (some Plasma integration). This packsge can be safely removed once installed.

The solution is to use and read package descriptions, not rely on maybe out-of-date infos in wikis :) > Please change that suggestion on the > "libreoffice" package. [...] [1] "Suggests: libreoffice-gnome | libreoffice-plasma" No, that suggestion is for the desktop environment and completely correct. What you might have wanted is libreoffice-kf5. (libreoffice-kde5 just happens to work because of said transitional package.)
