After executing these three commands I get not "complaints", but

I get
sudo apt-get install language-pack-gnome-ja-base language-pack-ja-base

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 language-pack-gnome-ja-base : Depends: language-pack-gnome-ja (>= 
1:14.04+20140410) but it is not going to be installed
 language-pack-ja-base : Depends: language-pack-ja (>= 
1:14.04+20140410) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

This is not a DIFFERENT package.

And this finally:
dpkg -s language-pack{-gnome,}-ja{-base,}
dpkg-query: package 'language-pack-gnome-ja-base' is not installed and 
no information is available

dpkg-query: package 'language-pack-gnome-ja' is not installed and no 
information is available

dpkg-query: package 'language-pack-ja-base' is not installed and no 
information is available

dpkg-query: package 'language-pack-ja' is not installed and no 
information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

I could not make these last two commands work.

So, there seems to be something missing.
And the computer apparently refuses to install that missing part ...

LibreOffice - after removing and then reinstalling it, the problem(s) 
seem to be gone (hopefully).
