Bug#454996: openoffice.org: Crashes with "gcj linkage error"
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1:2.3.1-1
Severity: normal
OpenOffice.org crashes with gcj linkage error if certain Java-related functions
are used and javasettings_Linux_X86_64.xml has been created by an older version
of OpenOffice.org.
This can be reproduced in Writer by inserting a picture to an empty document,
right-clicking the picture, selecting "Picture..." and opening the "Macro" tab.
OpenOffice.org crashes with the following error on the console:
libgcj failure: gcj linkage error.
Incorrect library ABI version detected. Aborting.
The crash happens ONLY with attached version of
~/.openoffice.org2/user/config/javasettings_Linux_X86_64.xml which has been created
by an older version of OpenOffice.org from Debian. It does not occur if I recreate
the file either by removing it or accessing the JRE settings in OpenOffice.org options
and manually selecting the JRE. I have not tested this with upstream OpenOffice.org.
I use up-to-date sid but cannot tell when exactly this problematic version of
javasettings_Linux_X86_64.xml has been created. I would guess that OpenOffice.org does
not automatically update this file when gcj ABI changes. The only difference between
the old non-working and the new working version of this file is two different digits in
the vendorData string (no idea what that means though):

(- is the broken and + is the working version)
