The latter is URE stuff, the other one is LibO stuff > Did you install libreoffice-java-common? > > No, am I supposed to do so on Ubuntu? Where would I learn this from? Package descriptions?

It doesn't. It just packages it up so that people don't get useless stuff if they don't need it. If they want, they can just install it. And if clueless people just install "libreoffice" (or somethig needing Java liuke Base, they of course get -java-comon) > How would I know?

It's just packaged differently. You can install whatever you need. Just install the goddamn package. > *Who* defines that Java is *not a "must-have"* in todays world? Everytime the Java thing came up, anyone claims that Java ins not necessary for functioning of the office. Except Base, which depends on it. If you need Java functionality, instakl it (And note we patch LibO to say "install libreoffice-java-common when Java doesn't work because the necessary stuff is not there). You get told. Maybe not when you just do extension stuff (but then you should be able to use your package system) but for "normal" use. > If you do not install it, you cripple OOo/LO bad time!
