Description Rafael Lima 2024-06-17 23:15:52 UTC 
Since recently, if you try to install the same extension twice LibreOffice will freeze. This appears to happen with any extension.

Steps to reproduce (the way it happened to me):
1) Download the latest version of APSO from [1]
2) Open LibreOffice and go to Tools - Extensions - Add and install the extension
3) Close the Extensions dialog and restart LibreOffice
4) Now open LibreOffice again and repeat steps 1 and 2
5) LibreOffice will freeze

If you uninstall the extension and install it again, it will work... but installing it again on top of an existing installation will freeze LO.

Actually I detected this issue while developing one of my extensions... during my testing I usually install modified versions of the extension on top of the existing installed extension (to replace it and test it). Then today I did this on LO 25.2 and got this freeze... it did not happen in 24.2.

Problems happens in
