RE: Bug#337610: BASIC error on saving a document

[Michel David <michel.david@gmail.com>]

Thanks very much for reporting =]
I got the same error and couldnt identify it.

My case was a little different 'cause I had an brazillian install of 
openoffice2 that came with ubuntu before the update.
By the way... the portuguese (brazillian) version was with huge toolbar 
buttons, that was one of the reasons i uninstalled it.

Cheers

   Package: openoffice.org-writer
   Version: 2.0.0-2
   Severity: normal

   Hello, today I installed OpenOffice.org 2.0 on my Debian etch/sid
   system. It works nicely, thanks for the great work.

   But there is some glitch on saving OOWriter documents. It gives
   two BASIC errors:

   "Error loading BASIC of document
   file:///usr/lib/openoffice/share/basic/WebWizard/script.xlb/:
   General Error.
   General input/output error."

   "Error loading BASIC of document
   file:///usr/lib/openoffice/share/basic/WebWizard/dialog.xlb/:
   General Error.
   General input/output error."

   Well what this "general error" is trying to tell me is:
   Those directories are not there. ;-) In fact I do not have a
   /usr/lib/openoffice/share/basic/WebWizard/ directory on my
   system at all.

   Ah, I found the cause: Its some old stuff in
   ~/openoffice.org2. I used a Klik package of a pre-version of
   OpenOffice.org 2 before.

   After rm -rf .openoffice.org2/ saving OOWriter document works
   as expected.

   I am still reporting this as other users having used a OOo 2 klik
   package or some other OOo 2 installation before, might have
   the same problem. Maybe a readme or probably even a debconf
   warning message (at least on install, not on upgrade) should
   mention that such problems may happen when
   non-debian-official OOo 2 was installed before.

   Anyway when its just my previous setup and no one else complains
   feel free to close the bug. ;)
