This might be of no help to you but I had to (try) install and remove
libre office about 3-4 times before /basis3.4 directory would show up
ald allow me to move it to .old and then make new directory?  If you
haven't yet, i'd try removing all libre packages (or broken in
synaptic/bash) reinstalling libre and when it fails look for that dir to
move?

sudo -s (or just type sudo before every command)
mv /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program/
/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program.old <------ this directory must be
present for fix to work, was not case for me at first.
mkdir /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program/
apt-get install -f
mv /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program.old
/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program

I hope this was of some help.
