seems to be a problem of a specific macOS version.

- Please provide your macOS version
- In addition you may give answer in https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/cant-install-dutch-language-pack-on-macos/61401 (though this question is related to Dutch language pack) a try.

Comment 15 Mike Kaganski 2021-08-24 09:33:36 UTC
May it be specific to a version of *language pack* perhaps?

> May it be specific to a version of *language pack* perhaps?

My tests were done with the FR langpack available for download from the French version of the LO download site.

The kind of message that was reported occurs when :

- either the user is attempting to install a later version of langpack over an older version of LO, without having first updated the LO version (e.g. 7.2.x over a 7.1.x installation);

- or else trying to install the langpack onto an app bundle that is not named "LibreOffice.app" (e.g. due to multiple different LO versions being installed with differentiating bundle names).

I have seen these error messages in the past, though, just not in the versions I have tested, so it definitely is a thing.

Can't it be the other way round, like installing older langpack over a newer LO? which is what I suspected actually.

Good point, haven't tried that, but I suspect you're right.
Comment 19 Roman Kuznetsov 2021-09-02 19:24:18 UTC
I can confirm it. I can't install a Russian language pack for LibreOffice 7.2 on macOS

And I think it's the same problem as it was in bug 134607 because after "fix" it I still couldn't install RU language pack to LO on macOS (I tried different version)

Yes, i have done it several times.
I have tried whith an old system version --> Yosemite 10.10.5 and it works

I am now under High Sierra --> 10.13.6  and it does not work at all

I just regret the LibreOffice 7.1.1 whicj was working in French under 10.13.6
Comment 22 MG 2022-01-09 16:17:16 UTC
The problem is still present whith the actual version 7.2.5.2  !!

Installing the french version says the version 7.2.5.2 is not a VALID VERSION !!!
Comment 23 MG 2022-01-09 16:18:32 UTC
i cannot understand why the problem listed for a long time is still present

Perhaps because it doesn't affect all users, and/or only sometimes.

Unfortunately, no repro for me with :

Version: 7.2.5.2 / LibreOffice Community

FR langpack installation worked fine for me.

Well what do you know, attempting to install the latest 7.4.0.x production release on Mac Arm M1, and confirm that I'm experiencing the same bug...

How annoying is that ;-)

This is occurring since the system update to macOS 12.5.1 - new Apple security model ?

Marking as duplicate of later bug 144053 because the analysis of the issue is clearer there.
