thats true.

That has nothing to do with OOo or LibreOffice, it did not work any
better with OOo. The root cause is that the bootstrap helper makes
quite crazy assumptions about where to find the soffice binary. Debian
(and thus Ubuntu) does quite a few changes (for example moving jars
around), which the original OOo code does not handle too well.

unoinfo.sh has no role in this at all -- it is not even packaged on
Ubuntu.

No, you would need to bootstrap with a ClassLoader having a correct
resource path. Never having seen this being reported against
LibreOffice on launchpad, it was assumed as not a serious issue.

Whining about it on the mailing list of a different project instead of
filing a bug is kind of ridiculous still, isnt it?

Best,

Bjoern
