Bug#573297: openoffice.org-core: should report an error when a required component is not installed
Package: openoffice.org-core
Version: 1:3.1.1-16
Severity: normal
I tried to open a Word document. After calling
ooffice x.doc
the OOo splash appeared and disappeared again, then nothing happened. ps
showed a sleeping OOo instance. I tried again calling only
ooffice
and the welcome screen appeared, allowing me to choose a document to open.
Again, nothing happened; the welcome screen persisted.
While preparing a bug report, I found out that the package
openoffice.org-writer was not installed. After installation, everything
worked as expected.
I think the OOo main binary should show *some* kind of error message or
other information indicating that it won't proceed, due to a required
component not being installed.
