Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: Hello, Both Mendeley and Zotero LibreOffice plugins are having problems with LibreOffice 4.4: Mendeley: http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/questions/11325906-mendeley-plugin-not-working-in-libreoffice-4-4- Zotero, for example: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/46297/ (there is a comment saying "solved" but I think that the person reverted to 4.3 or used upstream) (I've seen some other plugin with the same error message in LibreOffice 4.4, not sure if it was the PPA one or not) Disclaimer: I work for Mendeley, but both plugins are very similar (Mendeley one is a fork from Zotero one in 2008 before i joined and they use the same technologies and approach: Python-uno for communication and then LibreOffice Basic to update the plugin). The problem is that, if using LibreOffice 4.4 from the PPA and doing this: unopkg add -v Mendeley-1.13.3.oxt it shows an error such as: "(com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException) { { Message = "unknown error!", Context = (com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @0 } }" Then it gets incorrectly installed, I just do: rm -rf .config/libreoffice # to delete the broken installation soffice # to re-create .config/libreoffice unopkg add -v Mendeley-1.13.3.oxt # to try again if you wish The Mendeley plugin is available here https://www.dropbox.com/s/83isrvr82p2qsvh/Mendeley-1.13.3.oxt?dl=0 (or download and install Mendeley from http://www.mendeley.com/download-mendeley-desktop/ , then it's available in /opt/mendeleydesktop/share/mendeleydesktop/openOfficePlugin/Mendeley-1.13.3.oxt -we don't support OpenOffice but we still need to change the name of the directory, apologies). Or attached in this bug report. Anyway, using LibreOffice 4.4 from libreoffice.org works correctly, but using the ppa is not working correctly. We use the Python pyuno technology that maybe is broken there for some reason?
