Description: I tried to open a Powerpoint (pptx) file and I got this error: -- Component cannot be loaded, possibly broken or incomplete installation. -- Full error message: -- -- loading component library -- <file:///opt/libreoffice7.3/program/../program/libsdlo.so> failed -- /home/buildslave/source/libo-core-cppuhelper/source/shlib.css:311 The program then exits. I'm willing to accept that I have an incomplete installation, but there is no specific indication as to what I might be missing. I don't know if it's an issue with my specific Powerpoint file, but ldd tells me: $ ldd libsdlo.so libavahi-common.so.3 => not found libavahi-client.so.3 => not found Do these need to be part of the installation package(s) ? Or are they in a package that I don't have / missed / forgot / otherwise didn't install? Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run the command soffice MyPptFile.pptx Actual Results: Program displays a pop-up error. When the error is acknowledged, the program exits. Expected Results: The program would open and display my file. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version 7.3.5.2 / LibreOffice Community Build: 184fe81b8c8c30d8b5082578a...

Created attachment 181977 [details] This is the file I'm trying to open, in case that's relevant
The file opened fine in Version: 7.3.5.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 30(Build:2) CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: pt-BR (pt_BR.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.5-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Calc: threaded You probably have a broken installation. Try uninstalling and reinstalling LibreOffice to see if the problem persists. Your problem may also be related to bug 119408. I don't know which Linux distro you're using but you could try downloading the binaries distributed by the LibreOffice website (deb and rpm available). https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/
> Your problem may also be related to bug 119408. Thank you very much. I acquired the avahi libraries and that resolved the issue. Note for Slackware users: https://download.salixos.org/x86_64/14.2/salix/xap/avahi-0.6.32-x86_64-1dj.txz
