Bug#813430: libreoffice-common: If libreoffice-impress isn't installed, trying to create a new impress document doesn't do anything
Package: libreoffice-common
Version: 1:5.0.5~rc1-1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
A minor issue, though it confused me for a while. Somehow I didn't install "libreoffice", but just "libreoffice-writer",
and so if I type "libreoffice", I get a dialog that has new buttons for documents, calcs, impress presentations, etc.
When I click "new impress document" it does nothing. No log messages to stdout/err, no popup, etc. I've been having some dbus
issues, so I thought it was something along those lines, but eventually figured out that it simply wasn't installed. Duh.
It would be nice if when trying to create a document that isn't installed, there was a popup that says,
"you need to install libreoffice-impress" or whatever. Or maybe remove the buttons so then I can't click on them.
Thanks.
