Yes, I've seen that, thanks (I replied to Regina to this effect, but 
that seems to have been delayed). A potential issue is that synaptic has 
LO split across a lot of packages, and there seems some risk of 
conflicts.... but if no-one has seen my (original) problem I'll have to 
go the manual downgrade route.

BTW, Synaptic seems to have its own problems: the 5.1.1 version I had 
from the LO PPA was flagged as "broken" (which I see a lot, not just for 
LO, and means upgrading will be a problem until I've fiddled with apt 
directly). Sometimes synaptic offers a downgrade option - but not for 
the LO PPA: I had to disable that PPA, revert to ubuntu's own (4.x), 
completely deinstall LO, then reinstall to downgrade. Very messy, but 
not an LO issue!
