Some distributions used transitional packages, but they have likely been removed in recent releases in most cases. Let's get concrete examples from recent distribution releases before continuing. (and yes, I also think that if such cases still exist it will be possible to solve them in a friendly way; and the soffice alias is a separate problem) Regards, Andrea. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
