Bug#1051968: libreoffice: Libreoffice on MATE doesn't install libreoffice-gnome
You mean you have chosen "MATE Desktop Environment" in the installer in the "task selection" (a.k.a tasksel)? Yes; thank you for prompting me to clarify that. The "libreoffice" package suggests libreoffice-gnome | libreoffice-plasma but indeed the MATE task just does ... Depends: tasksel (= 3.73), task-desktop, mate-desktop-environment, lightdm Recommends: gimp, synaptic, libreoffice-writer, libreoffice-calc, libreoffice-impress, libreoffice-help-en-us, mythes-en-us, hunspell-en-us, hyphen-en-us, network-manager-gnome, orca, libreoffice-gtk3 ... But that (understandably, leaving out Base etc) bypasses the "libreoffice" metapackage (except that that suggests is not shown when being installed by the installer anyway...) Ah, that explains it! Thanks for finding that, Rene. I was looking at pkgs and didn't even think to go up a level to tasksel. -- Charles Boling PGP Public Key: http://www.boling.us/pgp/charles.html
Bug#1051968: libreoffice: Libreoffice on MATE doesn't install libreoffice-gnome
Package: libreoffice Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer, (Sorry if wrong pkg; had trouble finding dependency Also, yes, I used the term "patch" very loosely.) Problem: Fresh debian installation includes LibreOffice, but when installed in the MATE environment, it installs the libreoffice-gtk package but does NOT install the libreoffice-gnome package. How I noticed: LO was unable to open e.g. "sftp://; files. If opened from LO, it was as if you hit ESC instead of ENTER on open dialog -- nothing happened. If opened from file browser (Caja), it launched LO which then immediately exited. How I fixed: Manually installed libreoffice-gnome I don't know where to go to tweak this in the distro, but I suspect you do! Thanks for reading my report. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-10-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libreoffice depends on: pn libreoffice-base ii libreoffice-calc4:7.4.7-1 ii libreoffice-core4:7.4.7-1 ii libreoffice-draw4:7.4.7-1 ii libreoffice-impress 4:7.4.7-1 ii libreoffice-math4:7.4.7-1 pn libreoffice-report-builder-bin ii libreoffice-writer 4:7.4.7-1 ii python3-uno 4:7.4.7-1 Versions of packages libreoffice recommends: pn fonts-crosextra-caladea pn fonts-crosextra-carlito ii fonts-dejavu2.37-6 pn fonts-liberation ii fonts-liberation2 2.1.5-1 pn fonts-linuxlibertine pn fonts-noto-core pn fonts-noto-extra ii fonts-noto-mono 20201225-1 pn fonts-noto-ui-core pn fonts-sil-gentium-basic pn libreoffice-java-common pn libreoffice-nlpsolver pn libreoffice-report-builder pn libreoffice-script-provider-bsh pn libreoffice-script-provider-js pn libreoffice-script-provider-python pn libreoffice-sdbc-mysql pn libreoffice-sdbc-postgresql pn libreoffice-wiki-publisher Versions of packages libreoffice suggests: pn cups-bsd pn default-jre | java-runtime | java8-runtime | jre ii firefox-esr 102.13.0esr-1~deb12u1 ii ghostscript 10.0.0~dfsg-11+deb12u1 ii gnupg 2.2.40-1.1 pn gpa ii gstreamer1.0-libav1.22.0-2 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad 1.22.0-4+deb12u1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-base 1.22.0-3+deb12u1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-good 1.22.0-5+deb12u1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly 1.22.0-2 ii hunspell-en-us [hunspell-dictionary] 1:2020.12.07-2 ii hyphen-en-us [hyphen-hyphenation-patterns]2.8.8-7 pn imagemagick | graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat ii libgl11.6.0-1 pn libofficebean-java ii libreoffice-gnome 4:7.4.7-1 pn libreoffice-grammarcheck ii libreoffice-help-en-us [libreoffice-help] 4:7.4.7-1 pn libreoffice-l10n pn libreoffice-librelogo ii libsane1 1.2.1-2 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1.1 pn myspell-dictionary ii mythes-en-us [mythes-thesaurus] 1:7.5.0-1 pn openclipart-libreoffice pn pstoedit pn unixodbc
