Description Paul Menzel 2016-06-17 14:00:03 UTC
Building LibreOffice 5.1.3.2 [1] with the flags below, it fails to unpack the downloaded archives.

```
$ ./configure \
        --enable-verbose \
        --enable-release-build \
        --with-help \
        --with-lang=de \
        --with-jdk-home=/usr/local/java \
        --with-ant-home=/package/mariux64/ant \
        --with-system-openssl \
        --without-junit \
        --without-doxygen \
        --disable-odk \
        --disable-epm \
        --enable-python=internal
$ make -j

/sources/libreoffice-5.1.3.2/bin/unpack-sources /sources/libreoffice-5.1.3.2 /sources/libreoffice-5.1.3.2/src/libreoffice-translations-5.1.3.2.tar.xz
/sources/libreoffice-5.1.3.2/bin/unpack-sources: Permission denied
 make: *** [get-submodules] Error 126
```

Reason is, that the executable bit is not set.

```
$ ls -l bin/unpack-sources
-rw-r----- 1 joey joey 2393 May  4 00:51 bin/unpack-sources
```

It can be verified directly.

```
$ tar xf libreoffice-5.1.3.2.tar.xz
$ cd libreoffice-5.1.3.2/
$ ls -l bin/unpack-sources 
-rw-r----- 1 joey joey 2393 May  4 00:51 bin/unpack-sources
```

It seems to be an old problem already present in LibreOffice 4.1.0 [1].

The solution is to correct the file permission in the source repository, or to call the script with `bash`.

The first solution looks more correct, as the script has the shebang line below.

```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
```
