I think things have been changing even as I've been working, because I 
tried just a few minutes ago to download the 5.1.1 development version, 
and got 'target not found'. I've just checked again, and it's now there 
for download.

But anyway, I've tried the following:

5.1.0.3 (downloaded) works (and is where I'll stick for now)

5.1.1.1~rc2 (LO PPA reinstated) now works although the line spacings 
look subtly different. I'm not sure if this was exactly the version I 
was using before though when it failed so badly - as I've noted above, 
things have been changing as I work.

4.x (ubuntu PPA) works, but line spacing is different from 5.1.0.3


I'm not sure pushing out development versions in a PPA is such a 
brilliant idea. Having had my fingers burnt, I've removed the LO PPAs 
from synaptic, and will upgrade manually from now on.


Thanks all; sorry it's been a bit of a time waster. If nothing else, 
I've learned a bit more about dpkg and friends!
