Bug#259332: OpenOffice 1.1.2 doesn't update profile corectly on SID
Package: OpenOffice.org
Version: 1.1.2
Updated from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 through apt-get yesterday. At restart, the
'Script-file is being read...' shows up and offers two alternatives:
Create a new profile
Use the existing profile
(can't remember correct wording)
Default is: Creation of a new profile (which is IMHO the wrong default).
I clicked to use the existing one. It did a few things and closed. At
restart it had an empty profile, though.
My analysis: The existing, latest, profile is under ~/.openoffice/1.1.1/
The 'new' profile sits under ~/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/
It is unclear, why it lives here.
How to solve it:
cd ~/OpenOffice.org1.1.0
rm -Rf *
cp -a ../.openoffice/1.1.1/* .
This copies the 1.1.1 into the folder where 1.1.2 seems to expect it.
YMMV
