Description Yann 2011-03-31 05:16:04 UTC

I use Ubuntu 10.10.
When I go to http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ , the page proposes RPM.

It should propose DEB and/or indicate how to install via the Ubuntu Software Center.

On a Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS x86, the deb is correctly shown.

Comment 2 Fabian Rodriguez 2011-04-10 04:14:53 UTC

Instructions specific to Ubuntu are available at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOffice

Such instructions could be copied or linked to.

Comment 3 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2011-04-21 22:58:14 UTC

Selected version due to report date.

@Yann:
I see rpm AND deb in the picker for 3.2.2. Still a problem for you?

Comment 4 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2011-05-02 03:22:50 UTC

Closing Bug due to reporter's inactivity as WFM.

@reporter:
Please feel free to reopen this report if you find out that this problem still (or again) exists in a current stable LibO version and if you can contribute requested additional information.

I just checked with Ubuntu 11.04 32bits : the page proposes a 32bit DEB in the list, but the RPM is still the default choice.

Basic user don't know RPM/DEB stuff, so it would be better either to propose the right (32 or 64bit) DEB by default, or(/and) to explain how to install LO via the Ubuntu repositories.

Ubuntu 10.04.2

Different results with different browsers.
DEB always in list. Below is default choise.


Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1
(from deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu lucid main)

RPM


Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/10.04 Chromium/11.0.696.71 Chrome/11.0.696.71 Safari/534.24
(from default repo)

DEB


Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux i686; U; ru) Presto/2.8.131 Version/11.11
(from deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ lenny non-free)

RPM


Is it any way to propose DEB when browser says only "Linux", not "Ubuntu,Debian, etc."?

Comment 7 Yann 2011-12-01 04:06:46 UTC

quick update: Bug still valid on Ubuntu 11.10 (64bits) : i am proposed RPM by default instead of DEB.

No, there isn't. The web page has to guess your operating system based on browser's user agent string.
