Description Ben Sagal 2011-02-04 08:53:00 UTC

app-office/libreoffice-3.3.0 install two sets of desktop files, (both sets contain different files).

Could the files in /usr/lib(64)/libreoffice/share/xdg/ be deleted or if they at necessary merged with the ones in /usr/share/applications and use a symlink.

% equery f app-office/libreoffice | grep '\.desktop$'                                     
/usr/lib64/libreoffice/share/xdg/base.desktop

Comment 1 Andrés Becerra Sandoval 2011-06-15 03:57:42 UTC

libreoffice-bin-3.4.0 has the same problem.

In addition to this, dektop files reference executable "libreoffice3.4" in Exec, while the executable is "/usr/bin/libreoffice".

This is fixed in 3.4.2.2 and laters.
