Bug#578732: SDBC problems when openoffice.org-evolution is not installed
Package: openoffice.org Version: 1:3.2.0-4 Severity: normal When the package openoffice.org-evolution is not installed, there are problems with datasources. You will get an error about a missing SDBC driver. Try file | wizzards | Address data source and you will see only other external data source. If you use that, you will get this error: The connection to the external data source could not be established. No SDBC driver was found for the given URL. - When you install openoffice.org- evolution the problem is gone. But many people don't use evolution, so they don't install that package, and they have a problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openoffice.org depends on: ii liblucene2-java 2.9.2+ds1-1 Full-text search engine library fo ii openoffice.org-base 1:3.2.0-4 full-featured office productivity ii openoffice.org-calc 1:3.2.0-4 full-featured office productivity ii openoffice.org-core 1:3.2.0-4 full-featured office productivity ii openoffice.org-draw 1:3.2.0-4 full-featured office productivity ii openoffice.org-filter-mobile 1:3.2.0-4 full-featured office productivity ii openoffice.org-impress 1:3.2.0-4 full-featured office productivity ii openoffice.org-java-common 1:3.2.0-4 full-featured office productivity ii openoffice.org-math 1:3.2.0-4 full-featured office productivity ii openoffice.org-officebean1:3.2.0-4 full-featured office productivity ii openoffice.org-report-builde 1:3.2.0-4 OpenOffice.org extension for build ii openoffice.org-writer1:3.2.0-4 full-featured office productivity ii ttf-dejavu 2.30-2 Metapackage to pull in ttf-dejavu- ii ttf-sil-gentium-basic1.1-2 smart Unicode font families (Basic Versions of packages openoffice.org recommends: ii openoffice.org-filter- 1:3.2.0-4 full-featured office productivity ii ttf-liberation 1.05.2.20091019-4 Fonts with the same metrics as Tim Versions of packages openoffice.org suggests: ii cups-bsd1.4.3-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii default-jre [java5-runtime] 1.6-35 Standard Java or Java compatible R ii gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg0.10.10-1FFmpeg plugin for GStreamer ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad 0.10.17-1GStreamer plugins from the bad s ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.28-1GStreamer plugins from the base ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-good 0.10.21-1GStreamer plugins from the good ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly 0.10.14-1GStreamer plugins from the ugly pn hunspell-dictionary none (no description available) ii icedove 3.0.4-2 mail/news client with RSS and inte ii iceweasel 3.5.8-1 Web browser based on Firefox ii imagemagick 7:6.6.0.4-2 image manipulation programs ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1]7.7.1-1 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.17-2.1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpaper-utils 1.1.23+nmu2 library for handling paper charact ii libsane 1.0.20-14+b1 API library for scanners ii libxrender1 1:0.9.5-2X Rendering Extension client libra ii menu2.1.43 generates programs menu for all me ii myspell-en-us [myspell-dict 1:3.2.0-2English_american dictionary for my ii myspell-nl [myspell-diction 1:1.10-5 Dutch dictionary for MySpell and H pn openclipart-openoffice.org none (no description available) ii openjdk-6-jre [java5-runtim 6b18~pre2-1 OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspo ii openoffice.org-gnome1:3.2.0-4full-featured office productivity ii openoffice.org-help-en-us [ 1:3.2.0-4full-featured office productivity ii openoffice.org-help-nl [ope 1:3.2.0-4full-featured office productivity pn openoffice.org-hyphenation none (no description available) ii openoffice.org-l10n-nl [ope 1:3.2.0-4full-featured office productivity ii openoffice.org-thesaurus-en 1:3.2.0-2English Thesaurus for OpenOffice.o ii pstoedit3.45-8+b1PostScript and PDF files to editab ii unixodbc2.2.11-21ODBC tools libraries Versions of packages openoffice.org-core depends on: ii fontconfig 2.8.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libc6 2.11-0exp4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-3 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcurl37.20.0-3 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libdb4.84.8.26-1

No, you can also choose other external data source, then you can use many types of datasources. It's not only the wizzard what does not work. Excisting datasources stop working when you remove openoffice.org-evolution. I use the datasource with MySQL (odbc) and fastNAW, an extention what offers inserting data in a document: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/fastNAW What do you expect OOo to do? Merge -evolution into -base? (And force a libebook-1.2-9 on anyone? Only suggest libebook-1.2-9? Which would make people wonder why their stuff doesn't work?) I think there has to be investigated why this is happening. When there is a driver missing in base, it could be added. Maybe strace can give the right information. My first goal with this bug was to make clear what the problem is when you get an error about SDBC. I have searched hours before I got it working again after updating to 3.2.
