Package: libreoffice
Version: 4:26.2.0-1
Severity: wishlist

LibreOffice versions ≥ 26.2.x are not longer compatible with «old» 
systems as it requires GLIBC > 2.31 and what is worse, a CPU with 
specific flags/capabilities not present in legacy (?) hardware (see bug 
report #169747¹ in LO's bugzilla and release notes²).

Being LibreOffice a critical and basic piece of software for many 
mixed environments, such as home, professional and/or business users, 
having no option for even running the software at all it becomes a 
great lacking and forcing users with old hardware to look for another 
alternatives.

It would be nice Debian binaries could bypass (whether possible) this 
new and so perjudicial and restrictive requirement coming from LO's 
default compilation options.
