Description Shriramana Sharma 2013-10-13 04:19:53 UTC
Problem description: 

The following are problem with the package descriptions in the Debian packaging of LibO 4.1.1.2:

1) The packages are labeled LibreOffice 4.1 .1.2 and for language packages the .1.2 goes after the language en_US etc tag.

2) The package libobasis4.1-ooofonts contains fonts for libo but it is labeled as "Mailcap module for LibreOffice".

3) libobasis4.1-onlineupdate is labeled "Online update modul" with a missing final "e".

Please fix these errors. Thank you!

Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.1.1.2 release
Comment 1 Shriramana Sharma 2013-10-13 04:50:14 UTC
Sorry for the extra post but I realize I should add a few:

4) libobasis4.1-core01 is labeled "Core module for LibreOffice" whereas the rest of the libobasis4.1-core0? packages are labeled "*Office* module for LibreOffice". Please make the naming consistent.

5) libobasis4.1-en-us-[base|calc|math|writer] all read "Base language module" "Calc language module" etc. But "base", "calc" etc are not languages! The wording is confusing. Please change this to "Language module for LibreOffice Base component" etc.

6) While you are at it please could you clarify what are all those "brand" modules -- libreoffice4.1-writer is the "Writer brand module for LibreOffice" whereas libobasis4.1-writer is the "Writer module for LibreOffice". What is the difference?

7) And why doesn't installing the libreoffice4.1 package install all the packages required to run libreoffice?

Which command line or software do you use to see that ?

dpkg -I will do quite nicely. And the bug also continues in 4.1.2 and I would presume in 4.1.3 too...
Comment 4 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2013-11-24 09:03:07 UTC
Confirmed with version 4.1.4.0.0+ and 4.2.0.0.beta1.

Set importance to Low because it never caused problem in installation process.

Best regards. JBF

Dear Shriramana Sharma,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
