Public bug reported:
# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 21.04
Release: 21.04
Codename: hirsute
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice is symlinked twice into /usr/bin as
libreoffice and soffice
** root@agnes ** /usr/bin ** Thu Sep 16 11:09:37
# ls -la *office
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Sep 16 10:56 libreoffice ->
../lib/libreoffice/program/soffice
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 53 Aug 2 01:31 loffice
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Sep 16 11:05 soffice ->
../lib/libreoffice/program/soffice
However, soffice is a shell script which derefs the symlink and then
fails to find "../lib"
If one recreates the symlinks with full paths, all is well
