Thanks for all your feedback. It's completely clear now. A whole bunch of
LibreOffice updates have been processed finally a few days ago. A few other
updates yesterday and this morning. Now, the whole system is up-to-date. As
far as I can see, the system of "deferred" and "held back" updates prevents
a lot of complications.

Yours.

Bas.
