Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:3.5.4+dfsg-4
Severity: normal

content of usr/bin/libreoffice:

sd_cwd=`pwd`
 sd_res=$0
 while [ -h "$sd_res" ] ; do
     cd "`dirname "$sd_res"`"
     sd_basename=`basename "$sd_res"`
     sd_res=`ls -l "$sd_basename" | sed "s/.*$sd_basename -> //g"`
 done
 cd "`dirname "$sd_res"`"
 sd_prog=`pwd`
 cd "$sd_cwd"

sd_res is a symlink in debian so it goes in there
please use something sane like readlink to get the target instead of
that weird sed line

a user in #ubuntu+1 reports issues with it because he apparently has
some invalid locale in the month part of ls -l.
in principle this should be possible in debian too as the code is the same.
the user got:
02:04 <Allard> /usr/bin/libreoffice: 49: cd: can't cd to lrwxrwxrwx 1
root root 34 ���../lib/libreoffice/program
02:04 <Allard> /usr/bin/libreoffice: 156: exec: /usr/bin/oosplash: not found

Replacing the sed line with readlink fixed the issue for the user.
