Bugzilla Bug 192833

The oofice script contains a wrong reference to
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice as a result the script dies when invoked

Line 4 in /usr/bin/oofice is: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice "$@"
whereas the correct is:       /usr/bin/soffice  "$@"


George

Am I right that you use AMD64? If yes, try to fix the script to use
/usr/lib64/openoffice/program/soffice (if that is the right path), that should
be the correct way to do it. (And tell me if it helps). Forgot about that, oops

Yes you're right amd64.

/usr/lib64/openoffice contains only a share directory.

which soffice --> returns /usr/bin/soffice

Glad I can help Andreas. ;-)

Sorry for the multiple posting,

Forgot to clarify:

I have already checked this and it works OK using the
correction on my first post.

Also tried:
/usr/lib32/openoffice/program/soffice  "$@"

works as expected.

I think this is what you had in mind.

Yes this is what I had in mind, and yes this is the correct way to do.
/usr/bin/soffice is just a symlink

This is fixed now, please give the mirrors some time, sync and re-emerge

Thanks for reporting
