Bug#493582: python-ooolib: ooolib-python doesn't handle "" in formula
Package: python-ooolib
Version: 0.0.13-1
Severity: normal
Dear people,
the python-ooolib (ooolib-python) in debian has a problem with formulas like
this:
doc.set_cell_value(3, 6, 'formula', '=IF((A5>A4);A4;"")')
The "" is the important part. The lib fails creating the ods file.
I sent an email to upstream and kindly he solved the bug in a new version,
0.0.16. We have in debian an "old version" ;-) (0.0.13). Looking on the
changelog file of upstream there has been changes since 0.0.13. In my case,
as co-maintainer of bulmages, it solves a problem that we have in a plugin.
Also, we are the only package that depend on python-ooolib.
So, seeing that the package is small and lenny is near, please, could you
update python-ooolib to the new version?.
Best regards,
Leo
PS I have added as CC to upstream.
