Description keellambert 2013-03-22 11:04:37 UTC 
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. ....update of libpng12-0-1.2.50-3.1.1.x86_64 with libpng15-15-1.5.13-3.1.1.x86_64
2. ....
3. ....

Current behavior:
response on starting is 'no suitable windowing system found, exiting'

Expected behavior:
libpng12 to be included as dependency for installed LibreOffice,
hence avoidance of removal during system updates

libpng15 is not compatible with LibreOffice



              
Operating System: openSUSE
Version: 4.0.1.2 release
Comment 1 Stephan Bergmann 2013-03-22 11:44:48 UTC 
The generic Linux builds are configured --without-system-libpng, so I'd assume this is with a LO version provided by the openSUSE distro and is a downstream distro issue.

The install is from 

http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=rpm-x86_64&lang=en-GB

packages,
LibreOffice_4.0.1_Linux_x86-64_rpm_helppack_en-GB.tar.gz  
LibreOffice_4.0.1_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz
LibreOffice_4.0.1_Linux_x86-64_rpm_langpack_en-GB.tar.gz

It looks as though this point is already covered by Bug 61571

Comment 3 Petr Mladek 2013-03-25 10:10:06 UTC 
Yup, it looks like duplicate of the bug 61571.

You could test 4.0.2.1 (rc1) build from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Comment 4 Petr Mladek 2013-03-25 10:26:56 UTC 
I could confirm that the problems is fixed in 4.0.2.1. It starts fine without the system libpng12. I have reproduced the problem with the older 4.0.1.1 build, so I tested it correctly.
Comment 5 keellambert 2013-03-25 10:47:10 UTC 
this occured on Version 4.0.1.2 (Build ID: 84102822e3d61eb989ddd325abf1ac077904985) initially the install was ok

and only after update of libpng14-14-1.4.11-2.5.1.x86_64 with libpng15-15-1.5.13-3.1.1.x86_64 did it fail to start

here and now Version 4.0.1.2 will not start without libpng12-0-1.2.50-3.1.1.x86_64 installed

will try the latest beta version later today
Comment 6 keellambert 2013-03-25 17:34:07 UTC 
Version 4.0.2.1 (Build ID: 7e5467ff8f30d821f4fbf69cb2769163eb64c2c) installed and ran ok with libpng15-15-1.5.13-3.1.1.x86_64 and libpng15-15-32bit-1.5.13-3.1.1.x86_64 installed,
and without libpng12-0-1.2.50-3.1.1.x86_64 or libpng14-14-1.4.11-2.5.1.x86_64 installed
