Ubuntu 20.10 64 bits, GNOME French I try only to create a new database with LO Base using the default HSQLDB system. I create a new database choosing the first option : embedded HSQLDB When I try to select the tables to create one, I get an error : /build/libreoffice-pLFcgN/libreoffice-7.0.2/connectivity/source/-commmontools/dbexception.cxx:399 The problem is the same with Ubuntu 20.04 (LO 6.4) but this problem doesn't exist with Ubuntu 18.04 (LO 6.0.7.3)
@J-Paul : instead of using the Ubuntu supplied packets, can you reproduce the problem using the TDF provided packets ? You will need to purge your installation of all of the existing LO Ubuntu provided packets. I am pretty certain that this is an Ubuntu packaging problem, and not a LibreOffice one. Unfortunately, this is an all too common experience. Setting to NEEDINFO, but I would hasard a guess at this not being a LO bug.
Please indicate from where you downloaded the 7.0.2 packages or the repository name.
It is the packages provided by the distribution version 1:7.0.2-0ubuntu1 It is not the snap one I don't want to uninstall this version to get native one with maybe other problems. I can manage with a VM of Ubuntu 18.04. But I will tell this bug in Launchpad. Thanks.
@Alex: for the record this got "broken" commit 3ad137e2bd6eb796b96f8f63ab01a2c3065483d1 Author: Rene Engelhard <rene@debian.org> Date: Wed Feb 20 17:32:56 2019 +0100 move -sdbc-hsqldb from Recommends to Suggests given LO now defaults to firebird and there's a hsqldb->firebird migration running as Suggests is not installed per default where Recommends are (and who installs without recommends should know what they do.) This happens if you flip such stuff back-and-forth which happened with hsqldb. (and the above was forgotten to be reverted.) Will readd it as Recommends for the Debian packages. (which Ubuntu then needs to sync.)
