libreoffice from either /latest (6.2.3) or /quarterly (6.2.2_3) doesn't
crash here:

  1. start 12.0 amd64 jail
  2. pkg install libreoffice mesa-dri
  3. libreoffice /COPYRIGHT

Can you provide steps to reproduce?

"pkg upgrade -f" to refresh everything. Otherwise, bisect your environment
against pristine jail.

If a particular libreoffice version was crash-prone wouldn't there be
more similar reports?

Partial upgrades are not supported. Those packages are built against
dependencies in /latest repo. For one, libreoffice depends on boost-libs
which is 1.69.0_2 on /quarterly and 1.70.0_2 on /latest.
