Bug#206442: OpenOffice.org 1.1 looks for BASIC in /usr/lib/openoffice1.1
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.0.99+1.1rc-1
When I first attempt to save a file using any openoffice.org 1.1 application,
it gives me a series of 18 pop-up errors regarding missing files. The program
appears to be looking for BASIC files in /usr/lib/openoffice1.1 when those
files are actually located in /usr/lib/openoffice. In the Paths dialog in the
Options window, BASIC points to the correct path, but the errors persist.
These errors do not appear to affect the opening or saving of documents,
since they can be cleared by pressing OK and saving continues normally, and
are just an annoyance.
The problem is temporarily resolved by symlinking /usr/lib/openoffice1.1 to
/usr/lib/openoffice, but this is far from an ideal solution.
The problem did not exist until I upgraded from 1.0.3 to 1.0.99+1.1rc-1.
These are the error messages that pop up:
