Package: libreoffice-writer Version: 4:26.8.1.1-2 Installing libreoffice-writer, libreoffice-calc, libreoffice-impress and other app subpackages without the main "libreoffice" package results in a bad gtk/qt theming (because there is no libreoffice-gnome/libreoffice-plasma dependency) missing language translations (no libreoffice-l10n dependency), missing hunspell/myspell dictionaries (no hunspell-*/myspell-* dependency) and other missing things. Please consider fixing this.
This would mean installing all of them even if only one wants writer or calc or whatever. Even if it's not needed (Qt on GNOME desktops, vice versa, unneeded languages ..) Basicallwhat you want is one package containing it all. There is a reason this isn't done (people do wwant stuff alone, don't need Java dependencies or other heavy dependencies, etc.) This is a deliberate decision-.
Not every user wants to install full LibreOffice suite, but users still expect the installed apps to work correctly.
For people who don't know the libreoffice metapackage exists. For people who do know they can install the subpackages and install stuff needed. (Or use the tasks which *do* install the correct Gtk/GNOMME themeing)
Also, the apps themselves do have AppStream metadata and show in GUI software stores (GNOME Software, KDE Discover), the main libreoffice package does not.
Of course, because the metainfo is app-specific. (e.g. /usr/share/metainfo/libreoffice-writer.appdata.xml, so they *do* belong into the app subpackages), not a generic file. Sorry, there is nothing to fix here. At all. Later you write: > If this gets fixed, please consider backporting the fix to Trixie. Thanks! It won't. Besides that it won't be fixed a big change like this never will be backported to official trixie. Regards, Rene
