Package: libreoffice-writer Version: 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 Severity: normal This has originally been reported in the Ubuntu bugtracker for Ubuntu 12.04 (libreoffice 3.5.2-2ubuntu1) by Franck: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/986205
"LO in Ubuntu 12.04 fails to open an odt document that contains a checkbox. Works fine in LO 3.4 on Ubuntu 11.10. The problem occurs only when the package libreoffice-base is *not* installed and only for the Ubuntu package, i.e. either installing libreoffice-base or using libreoffice 3.5 from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ allows to open the file. " An example file that fails to open is linked in the above bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/986205/+attachment/3095819/+files/test_lo_checkbox.odt When the file is attempted to open (without having libreoffice-base installed), it leads to a "Read-Error. Error reading file." While the above bug has been reported for 3.5.2-2ubuntu1, the same bug occurs for libreoffice 3.5.2-4+b1 (sid) and 3.5.3~rc1-1 (experimental) -- but only for the Debian/Ubuntu packages, not for the upstream packages at http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ To the user this appears as a regression, because the files could be opened with libreoffice 3.4 without needing libreoffice-base. The problem seems not specific to files with checkboxes but to all files including any "form controls". More examples of files failing to open are the "OpenDocument Format (ODF)" files on the top of this page: http://katana.oooninja.com/w/reference_sample_documents -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers precise-updates APT policy: (500, 'precise-updates'), (500, 'precise-security'), (500, 'precise-proposed'), (500, 'precise') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-23-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libreoffice-writer depends on: ii libc6 2.15-0ubuntu10 ii libgcc1 1:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 ii libicu48 4.8.1.1-3 ii libreoffice-base-core 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 ii libreoffice-core 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 ii libstdc++6 4.6.3-1ubuntu5 ii libwpd-0.9-9 0.9.4-1 ii libwpg-0.2-2 0.2.1-1 ii libwps-0.2-2 0.2.4-1 ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4 ii uno-libs3 3.5.2-2ubuntu1 ii ure 3.5.2-2ubuntu1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu4 Versions of packages libreoffice-writer recommends: ii libreoffice-emailmerge 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 ii libreoffice-math 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 Versions of packages libreoffice-writer suggests: ii default-jre [java5-runtime] 1:1.6-43ubuntu2 ii gcj-4.4-jre [java5-runtime] 4.4.6-2ubuntu3 ii gcj-4.5-jre [java5-runtime] 4.5.3-10ubuntu2 ii gcj-4.6-jre [java5-runtime] 4.6.3-1ubuntu2 ii gcj-jre [java5-runtime] 4:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 ii libreoffice-base <none> ii libreoffice-filter-binfilter <none> ii libreoffice-gcj <none> ii libreoffice-java-common 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 ii openjdk-6-jre [java5-runtime] 6b24-1.11.1-4ubuntu3 ii openjdk-7-jre [java5-runtime] 7~u3-2.1.1~pre1-1ubuntu2 Versions of packages libreoffice-core depends on: ii fontconfig 2.8.0-3ubuntu9 ii fonts-opensymbol [ttf-opensymbol] 2:102.2+LibO3.5.2-2ubuntu1 ii libc6 2.15-0ubuntu10 ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.1ubuntu2 ii libcmis-0.2-0 0.1.0-1 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.22.0-3ubuntu4 ii libdb5.1 5.1.25-11build1 ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7.2ubuntu1 ii libexttextcat0 3.2.0-1ubuntu1 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-1 ii libfreetype6 2.4.8-1ubuntu2 ii libgcc1 1:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.1-0ubuntu2 ii libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 0.10.36-1 ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.36-1ubuntu1 ii libhunspell-1.3-0 1.3.2-4 ii libhyphen0 2.8.3-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.7-2build1 ii libicu48 4.8.1.1-3 ii libjpeg8 8c-2ubuntu7 ii libmythes-1.2-0 2:1.2.2-1 ii libneon27-gnutls 0.29.6-1 ii libnspr4 4.8.9-1ubuntu2 ii libnss3 3.13.1.with.ckbi.1.88-1ubuntu6 ii libpng12-0 1.2.46-3ubuntu4 ii librdf0 1.0.14-1 ii libreoffice-common 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 ii librsvg2-2 2.36.1-0ubuntu1 ii libsm6 2:1.2.0-2build1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1-4ubuntu3 ii libstdc++6 4.6.3-1ubuntu5 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.99.1-0ubuntu2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.0-3build1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.1-3build1 ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4 ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.2-2 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-2build1 ii libxslt1.1 1.1.26-8ubuntu1 ii ttf-opensymbol 2:102.2+LibO3.5.2-2ubuntu1 ii uno-libs3 3.5.2-2ubuntu1 ii ure 3.5.2-2ubuntu1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
