Title:
  en-gb thesaurus is missing

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Problem: The EN-GB thesaurus is missing for LibreOffice.

  To observe: 
  1. Fresh install of 21.04, set Location to United Kingdom.
  2. Start LibreOffice Writer, choose the Tools menu.
  3. The "Thesaurus" item is greyed out.

  Root cause: there is no mythes-en-gb package available (but there is
  mythes-en-us).

  Workaround: 
  Give British English speakers the American English thesaurus i.e.
  symlink the US thesaurus by the GB one. 
  cd /usr/share/mythes; ln -s th_en_US_v2.dat th_en_GB_v2.dat;  ln -s 
th_en_US_v2.idx th_en_GB_v2.idx;

  Note: this report and tested workaround is on a fresh install of
  21.04, although this problem has been extant for years. There appears
  to be no GB version of the thesaurus. However, as UK-english and USA-
  english language is so similar, it would be OK to provide the
  thesaurus from the US package in the meantime as a symlink.

  
  For others who find this bug report while searching the same issue, note that 
  en-us is "english united-states"
  en-gb is "english great-britain", 
  -uk    is "ukraine".  
  (Don't look for "english united-kingdom", en-uk, which doesn't exist).
