No worries - I was under the impression that I should test and send y'all
results. I'm happy to wait.
Thanks for all of your work on this and other bugs,

Olivier - thanks - I understand now. I've done the update. It turned
out that there were three modules that were't selected using this method
(nlpsolver, wiki-publisher and fonts-opensymbol) so I installed them as
well.

I suggest you run the command by parts (and look at the output after
each command), this will demonstrate better than I can explain with
words what it does, i.e.:
NEWVERSION="1:6.4.4-0ubuntu0.20.04.1"
apt list --upgradable
apt list --upgradable | grep $NEWVERSION
apt list
I don't suppose you could explain some of that could you? The install
command is too complex for a simple fellow like myself - from the cut
command on (I get as far as the selection of upgradable items with a
name that includes the version number).
I don't think I'm in danger of getting updates
I'm not familiar with aptitude, but once all the packages are fully
built and published in focal-proposed, the following commands should do
the trick:
sudo apt update
NEWVERSION="1:6.4.4-0ubuntu0.20.04.1"
sudo apt install $(apt list --upgradable | grep $NEWVERSION | cut -d/ -f1 |

Paul: That's precisely what I have been trying to do, as I imagined
would be clear from the fact that I've been following the instructions
on how to do just that, by editing the proposed-updates file.
But I don't know how to select just libreoffice (and all it's files) for
update in aptitude.
Tim: the version that you're wanting to test is still building. It takes
a long time for Libreoffice to build. You can check it's progress in the

I have this problem too. The libreoffice install came along with Ubuntu
20.04. Pressing F1 shows a message: "the object cannot be accessed due
to insufficient user rights". Purging and reinstalling the help package
and the entire LO package does not solve the problem

Extra testing, uploading the libreoffice package used by Debian to ppa
gave a build with the same 'no obvious way to instantiate

It sounds like the problem is trying to open the local help custom UI,
instead of the expected behaviour (opening the local HTML help in a
browser). The debs produced by TDF do open the help in a browser, so
there is a functional discrepancy here that should be investigated.

I wish the local help could be included in the normal installation. It
looks as if the change to the web-based version in earlier versions has
been removed, but the local help doesn't work outside of snaps.
I have to admit I fail to understand snaps.

The problem appears to be only in 6.4.X deb. Here's what I've tested.
* The 6.4.2 snap works probably because we are including the help directly, so
that help opens the actual help rather than directing the user to the web.
* 6.4.2.2 deb = broken
* 6.4.1-0ubuntu1 deb = broken
