_Description: Prelink OpenOffice.org binaries?
- OpenOffice.org's binaries can be prelinked to ensure faster starting and
- less memory needs.
+ OpenOffice.org's binaries can be prelinked if the prelink package
+ is installed.
+ .
+ Advantages of this are a faster startup and lesser memory needs since
+ the dynamic linker does not need to do much relocations.
+ .
+ However, prelinking modifies the files itself. After prelinking,
+ the MD5 checksums in the package don't match reality anymore; then the
+ checksums in the package can't be used to verify the package integrity
+ until the prelinking is undone.
+ .
+ You need to undo prelinking with 'dpkg-reconfigure openoffice.org-bin'.
.
Should I do that?
This will now be committed to CVS, so this bug will be fixed in the
next release...
Grüße/Regards,
René
