[SOLVED] libreoffice not starting context fails to supply singleton

Whenever I start libreoffice it shows this error:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The application cannot be started.
component context fails to supply singleton com.sun.star.deployment.ExtensionManager of type com.sun.star.deployment.XExtensionManager
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

in a window.

I found this old thread : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148053

But the latest  clucene-2.3.3.4-8 is already installed, and btw I don't have any other language installed on the system:
pacman -Ss libreoffice | grep installed
extra/libcdr 0.1.1-2 [installed]
extra/libreoffice-fresh 4.4.3-1 [installed]

I replaced clucene with clucene-git (just to try) , but instead of the error the application keeps loading and nothing happens,
11801  0.0  0.0 200088  5476 tty1     Sl   14:56   0:00 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash --writer
11818  0.2  0.4 876740 72548 tty1     Sl   14:56   0:00 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --writer --splash-pipe=5
11829  0.0  0.0  52216  4508 tty1     Sl   14:56   0:00 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash --writer
11844  0.0  0.0  52216  4424 tty1     Sl   14:56   0:00 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash --writer

It's weird not to find any threads on this which makes me think, am I the only one with this problem?
I'm on LXDE (maybe it's related?)

The system is full up to date.

Ok, this was weird, so:
1) install the git package
2) reinstall clucene and clucene-git will be removed and will work ???

Will see if this works after the reboot

This still happened after the update, it's fixed by reinstalling clucene ....
