As a workaround, installing the libreoffice-style-galaxy package seems to do the trick.. Perhaps the icons you get this way are not in the intended style, but they convey the intended meaning and makes the help system look less broken.

Instead of the missing images you see some kind of default icon with the text "vnd.sun.st" (see attached screen-shot). Some of these are quite crucial -- they document actions which can only (apparently) be accessed by pressing a button, not via menus. So if you can't see what the button looks like, there is no way to know how to access that function. TO REPRODUCE: Help->Libre Office Help Search for "read-only documents;editing" RESULTS: It says "use the Edit File icon to activate..." (no mention of any other way, such as via menus), and displays an error icon. EXPECTED RESULTS: You should see a picture of the icon you are supposed to use. RELEVANT DETAILS: Affects the help in any language.
