Description: I have used LibreOffice for many years. I have never had a problem installing until version 6.4 on a Debian 10 machine with Kernel 5.5.0.1. When I install, using sudo the applications install fine, but when I go to execute them, they fail to start. The owner and group of the executable's is root - root. I uninstalled them and attempted to install them without using sudo and get a permissions error if sudo isn't used. This is a recent update to Debian, and I do have 6.3 running on other systems successfully. This is the first time I have tried to install 6.4 from the x86_64 download new. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download current release to standard download folder and extract. 2.change to folder containing extracted debs. 3.run "sudo dpkg -i *.deb 4.Execute any program from menu. Actual Results: Programs install. Uninstalled and reinstalled without sudo, install will not begin without root permission to execute installers and create folders for programs. Expected Results: Programs installed, proper menu icons were created under office menu. Programs just fail to start. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Programs should execute if installation instructions are followed properly.
Rene: thought you might be interested in this one since it concerns Debian. (Usually I advise using LO packages from distrib repository)
https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/libreoffice exists on Debian 10. (and yes, works of course.)
