--- Comment #3 from Axel Howind <[email protected]> --- @Alex: Why bother the pacakage maintainers of Ubuntu with this? It's rather clear there is an issue in LibreOffice: LibreOffice "knows" something is wrong with the installation (button flashes red for a part of a second) but then gives no clue whatsoever on how to fix it. Finding out the cause for this problem doesn't get any better when the Options page *does* show Base settings despite it not being installed. If nothing else, when opening the settings for a non-installed or non-functional package, there should at least be a warning message ("package is missing or not working"). I, as a single user can get this to work (and have already done so). But for LibreOffice to be able to gain a larger market share, things like these have to be ironed out. There might even be another issue with the Ubuntu packaging as you said, and I could ask them to include Base by default. But do you have any solid numbers about your user base out there? I am sure quite a large portion of those (at least on linux) get LibreOffice simply because it's packaged in the base distribution. If they all have to uninstall and install manually from your packages (unless they find out what is broken in the packaged version), I am sure many will be disappointed and just switch to using an alternative. Please don't take me wrong, I *want* LibreOffice to succeed. (I still have to use "redmond" at work...) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
