Bug#168813: openoffice.org should depend on lpr or not require it



Thanks for your report.  You've actually probably hit two separate problems
here:

1. Spurious (but harmless) output if no printing front end is installed.

2. A crash caused by something else.

You can confirm (1) by temporarily installing some printing client, although
there is no need unless you want to confirm for yourself.

(2) is a little harder to solve.  You may like to check that a truetype font
is not causing the crash by temporarily removing all truetype fonts from
your X font path.  Something like this should do:

xset fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled

(but you should have a look at the fonts you have in /X11/XFConfig-4 and
choose something sensible).

Also, if you have installed a translated language (i.e.
openoffice.org-l10n-en is not installed), try installing
openoffice.org-l10n-en in addition to the language you have - it seems that
sometimes OOo will crash if -en is not installed.

If you are still no further, please will you get a crash dump using gdb
(you may need to apt-get install gdb).  Do the following:

$ SAL_DEBUG=gdb openoffice
(gdb) run
[openoffice starts and crashes]
(gdb) where

...and post the output here.

Thanks,
Chris
