Hi all,
Dropping this here as a quick workaround, since I'm unsure whether this
is an upstream or guix issue. When using libreoffice to convert
documents into pdf it crashes with a not so helpful issue:
>> libreoffice --headless --convert-to test.pdf empty.odt
convert /home/user/empty.odt as a Writer document -> /home/user/empty.test.pdf
using filter : writer_pdf_Export
Assertion failure: rv == SECSuccess, at sechash.c:140
Unspecified Application Error
It seems that libreoffice fails when trying to load the new NSS
package. It can be easily downgraded in your personal packages. Dropping
the example:
```
(define-module (packages nss)
#:use-module (gnu packages libreoffice)
#:use-module (gnu packages nss)
#:use-module (gnu packages)
#:use-module (guix download)
#:use-module (guix packages)
#:use-module (guix utils))
(define-public nss-new
(package
(inherit nss)
(name "nss")
(version "3.101.4") ;update to latest ESR release
(source (origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri (let ((version-with-underscores
(string-join (string-split version #\.) "_")))
(string-append
"https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/";
"releases/NSS_" version-with-underscores "_RTM/src/"
"nss-" version ".tar.gz")))
(sha256
(base32
"1sqvh49qi9vq55sbg42c5n0kz6w6ni383hgiyhaym6drsmbzb86a"))
;; Create nss.pc and nss-config.
(patches (search-patches "nss-3.56-pkgconfig.patch"
"nss-getcwd-nonnull.patch"
"nss-increase-test-timeout.patch"
;; "nss-3.115-disable-broken-tests.patch"
"nss-3.115-disable-pkix-ocsp-tests.patch"))
(modules '((guix build utils)))
(snippet
'(begin
;; Delete the bundled copy of these libraries.
(delete-file-recursively "nss/lib/zlib")
(delete-file-recursively "nss/lib/sqlite")))))
(arguments
(substitute-keyword-arguments (package-arguments nss)
((#:tests? #t) #f))) ))
(define-public libreoffice-new
(package
(inherit libreoffice)
(name "libreoffice-new")
(inputs
(modify-inputs (package-inputs libreoffice)
(replace "nss" nss-new)))))
```
After that you can use the edited libreoffice like
guix shell libreoffice-new -- libreoffice --headless --convert-to test.pdf
empty.odt
--
Hope that helps
