Source: gpredict Version: 2.3-72-gc596101-3 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
libreoffice-*-nogui was introduced exactly for the reason of which this package uses libreoffice: using libreoffice for something automatically without needing GUI. E.g. document conversion. So I suggest using libreoffice-writer-nogui. That means "lowriter" is gone, though, but you simply can use "soffice --writer instead" (which is what lowriter calls anyways). --writer isn't exactly needed since odt should be detected as writer but doesn't do harm. Since libreoffice-writer-nogui is not available on all archs (left out on the "slow" ones sincewe don't want to have *two* build of LO on them...)[1] this only needs to be done after #983763 though (will mark it as blocking). diff -Nru gpredict-2.3-72-gc596101/debian/control gpredict-2.3-72-gc596101/debian/control --- gpredict-2.3-72-gc596101/debian/control 2021-02-20 18:38:58.000000000 +0000 +++ gpredict-2.3-72-gc596101/debian/control 2023-07-09 17:04:38.000000000 +0000 @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ libglib2.0-dev, libgoocanvas-2.0-dev, libgtk-3-dev, - libreoffice-writer, + libreoffice-writer-nogui, libtool, pkg-config diff -Nru gpredict-2.3-72-gc596101/debian/rules gpredict-2.3-72-gc596101/debian/rules --- gpredict-2.3-72-gc596101/debian/rules 2021-02-20 19:56:10.000000000 +0000 +++ gpredict-2.3-72-gc596101/debian/rules 2023-07-09 17:04:38.000000000 +0000 @@ -14,4 +14,4 @@ override_dh_auto_build: dh_auto_build mkdir -p $(HOME) - cd doc/um && lowriter --headless --convert-to pdf gpredict-user-manual.odt + cd doc/um && soffice --writer --headless --convert-to pdf gpredict-user-manual.odt Regards, Rene [1] libreoffice-writer-nogui | 4:7.4.5-3 | stable | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x
