  1. libreoffice: Update version from 6.0.5.2 to 6.1.0.3

    [Announcement][1]:
    
    > Berlin, August 8, 2018 – The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice
    > 6.1, the second major release of the LibreOffice 6 family presented in
    > January 2018, with a significant number of new and improved features:
    >
    > *   Colibre, a new icon theme for Windows based on Microsoft’s icon
    > design guidelines, which makes the office suite visually appealing for
    > users coming from the Microsoft environment;
    > *   A reworked image handling feature, which is significantly faster
    > and smoother thanks to a new graphic manager and an improved image
    > lifecycle, with some advantages also when loading documents in
    > Microsoft proprietary formats;
    > *   The reorganization of Draw menus with the addition of a new Page
    > menu, for better UX consistency across the different modules;
    > *   A major improvement for Base, only available in experimental mode:
    > the old HSQLDB database engine has been deprecated, though still
    > available, and the new Firebird database engine is now the default
    > option (users are encouraged to migrate files using the migration
    > assistant from HSQLDB to Firebird, or by exporting them to an external
    > HSQLDB server);
    > *   Significant improvements in all modules of LibreOffice Online,
    > with changes to the user interface to make it more appealing and
    > consistent with the desktop version,
    
    > *   An improved EPUB export filter, in terms of link, table, image,
    > font embedding and footnote support, with more options for customizing
    > metadata;
    
    > *   Online Help pages have been enriched with text and example files
    > to guide the users through features, and are now easier to localize.
    >
    > LibreOffice 6.1’s new features have been developed by a large
    > community of code contributors: 72% of commits are from developers
    > employed by companies sitting in the Advisory Board like Collabora,
    > Red Hat and CIB and by other contributors such as SIL and Pardus, and
    > 28% are from individual volunteers.
    >
    > In addition, there is a global community of individual volunteers
    > taking care of other fundamental activities such as quality assurance,
    > software localization, user interface design and user experience,
    > editing of help system text and documentation, plus free software and
    > open document standards advocacy at a local level.
    >
    > A video summarizing the top new features of LibreOffice 6.1 is
