When Libreoffice installs, a symbolic link is created from /usr/bin/libreoffice to /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice. This works fine. However, Debian stretch and Devuan ASCII both created an additional link, /usr/bin/X11/libreoffice. This link does not work due to how the back end script handles the symbolic link that is $0. I simply replaced the funky loop that resolves the symlink with if false then original loop else sd_res="$( readlink -e "$sd_res" )" fi I could have simplified it even further but a four line change allows me to quickly alter the script in the future. To make things even more secure, I mv soffice soffice.def The modified script was named soffice.mod ln -s soffice.mod soffice
Rene: thought you might be interested in this one since it concerns Debian. (I'm not at home to give it a try with Debian testing)
