Bug#884747: fails to start when .config is a symlink, with misleading error message about permissions



Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:5.4.3-4+b1
Severity: normal

  The application cannot be started.
  LibreOffice user installation could not be processed due to missing
  access rights. Please make sure that you have sufficient access rights
  for the following location and restart LibreOfflice:
  
  /home/joey/.etc/.config/libreoffice/4

My .config is a symlink to .etc/.config. The files in .etc/.config/libreoffice
were created by the same libreoffice process that then displayed that
error dialog. There are no permissions problems.

joey@darkstar:~>ls -ld .config .etc .etc/.config .etc/.config/libreoffice .etc/.config/libreoffice/4
lrwxrwxrwx  1 joey joey   12 Dec 18 22:33 .config -> .etc/.config/
drwxr-xr-x 10 joey joey 4096 Dec 11 11:50 .etc/
drwx------ 70 joey joey 4096 Dec 18 22:50 .etc/.config/
drwxr-xr-x  3 joey joey 4096 Dec 18 22:50 .etc/.config/libreoffice/
drwx------  3 joey joey 4096 Dec 18 22:50 .etc/.config/libreoffice/4/

joey@darkstar:~>tree -pld .etc/.config/libreoffice
.etc/.config/libreoffice
└── [drwx------]  4
    └── [drwxr-xr-x]  user
        ├── [drwxr-xr-x]  autotext
        ├── [drwxr-xr-x]  config
        └── [drwxr-xr-x]  extensions

Libreoffice appears to be doing some kind of permissions check that
doesn't handle symlinks correctly. I had to replace the .config
symlink with .etc/.config temporariy to edit a document.

I have had .config be a symlink for many years with no problems,
including using libreoffice before. I have reasons of personal
organization to want to keep it that way; in any case the error message
is wrong and the limitation that it not be a symlink seems pointless.
