Hi Harvey,
most of the packages, which are supported by Linux distributions, will
work well and will be better integrated than the packages of LibreOffice
directly. But: If you are using Base I would never use the packages the
Linux distribution will support.
Example 1: Try Firebird in Linux distributions. The packages of any
distribution are very small. There is no Firebird 3 provided by
LibreOffice installed because they say: We could support Firebird
directly. But it won't work, because there are different versions. You
couldn't open a database file with Firebird, created by Ubuntu, with
LibreOffice on Windows. But you could create a working Base file with
Firebird when using packages of LO.
Example 2: Don't know if this works now, but for many years you couldn't
execute any report in Base with packages from Ubuntu or OpenSuSE. But
Packages from LO will work well.
On my system (OpenSUSE 15.6) is working MariaDB as server together with
LibreOffice Base (not the packages from OpenSUSE) very well with direct
connection.
Conclusion: Write a bug to https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/index.cgi
Might be it helps. Don't know why there is anybody who tries to do it
better than packager from LibreOffice directly. Much to do for the
person and a bad result for users.
Regards
Robert
