Description Richard PALO 2017-04-15 05:31:01 UTC 
I'm crossposting this https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/53448 here as it appears rather to be a combination LO 5.3 issue on Linux 4.10 which can be easily reproduced (at least on ArchLinux x86_64)

I've reconfirmed the issue remains with LibreOffice 5.3.2.2 30m0(Build:2)
on 4.10.9-1-ARCH whereas it works on 4.9.21-1-lts. LO 5.2 works on both.

Here's the traceback:
$ soffice --headless --convert-to pdf foo.odt

Nothing to do with the Base module, which refers to databases, but more likely printing and PDF preparation in general. Changing module accordingly.

On Arch 64-bit with 4.10.11-1 I don't reproduce this.

Arch Linux 64-bit, KDE Plasma 5
Version: 5.3.2.2
Build ID: 5.3.2-1
CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Linux 4.10; UI Render: default; VCL: kde4; Layout Engine: new;

Well, reproduction probably needed to be on same revisions...

But so, just tried again on recent Linux sarchx64 4.10.13-1-ARCH
with LibreOffice 5.3.3.2 30m0(Build:2) and I confirm I no longer see the issue.

since it is now fixed in either the OS or LO, I'll mark now as resolved.

Thanks.
