          Issue ID: 128628
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: libcrypt.so.1
           Product: Installation
           Version: 4.1.16
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux 64-bit
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 (lowest)

When launching Apache OpenOffice 4.1.16 on AlmaLinux 10:
/opt/openoffice4/program/javaldx: error while loading shared libraries:
libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/opt/openoffice4/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

is caused by libcrypt.so.1 being deprecated and removed from modern
glibc/libxcrypt in AlmaLinux 10 derivatives.

Apache OpenOffice 4.1.16 was built against older libraries which expect the
legacy libcrypt.so.1 ABI.

AlmaLinux 10 provides a compatibility library exactly for legacy software like
this:
sudo dnf install libxcrypt-compat
This package installs libcrypt.so.1 (as a compatibility shim pointing to the
modern libcrypt.so.2 implementation). 
It's in the standard AppStream repository (no need for extra repos or manual

It will be nice that 4.2.0-dev6 can address this issue.
