Bug#396739: openoffice.org-writer: 2.0.4-5 64bit not reading graphics in .doc files

[Clive Menzies <clive@clivemenzies.co.uk>]

Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 2.0.4-5
Severity: important


I first came across this in the 64bit 2.0.4-1 package.  I've been using
OOo in a 32 bit chroot and most of my documents were created using this.
I've switched to 64bit recently and in the main it works well AFAICT.
However, if I open a letter/invoice created in 32bit, the graphic logo
is missing.

I've upgraded progressively to 2.0.4-5 but the problem persists.
Vitezslav Kotrla offered to test on his system and came up with the
following:
> The attached has been created in the 32bit version of OOo 2.0.3-4 but
> when I open it in 64bit 2.0.4-2, the logo is missing.

Confirmed, no logo on my AMD64 Sid. But I opened and saved (as .doc) it
in 32bit oowriter. File size after this save was 74 kB. But back on
64bit system logo shows! I can even save in 64bit oowriter and logo is
still there, but filesize is 123 kB. (Why?!).

See attached file, changes are as follows:

- opened in 32bit oowriter (logo ok)
- saved as .doc
- opend in 64bit oowriter (logo ok)
- saved as .doc (two times, logo still there)

Let me know if you need the attachments

Thanks

Clive
