Description Ruud Althuizen 2007-09-12 16:06:41 UTC

Since a few days I have the problem that openoffice (2.2 and 2.3) keeps crashing when I try to open files. It may not be important, but it seems to be happening since I downgraded some X11 libs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ooffice <file>

1. ooffice
2. open a file

Actual Results:  
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'berkeleydbproxy::DbException'
sh: crash_report: command not found

Somehow this file gets left behind after the crash.

Is this with openoffice or openoffice-bin?

Also you seem to have chosen the wrong mime-type for your attachements to this bug...

I only do openoffice-bin as it would cost me about 10 hours compiling otherwise. The strace output is in the tar.bz2 output because it would be too big otherwise. the second file is a .db file.

I guess this raises a few questions: Is your system up to date? Also why did you downgrade those X11-libs? And what happens if you upgrade again?

Please also provide your output of emerge info.

But actually this is all the advice I can give you, this is most likely a problem with your specific setup, as openoffice-bin works fine on lots of other machines I don't believe it is a OOo problem. And even if it would, it would be an upstream issue as we take the binaries directly from OpenOffice.org.

I had some stuff unmasked to force an upgrade of Xorg. With that version in stable I decided to remove the unmask file. That caused some stuff to be downgraded.

Now that some of those packages have been bumped it seems to be working again. I will investigate which ones were at fault if requested.
