Bug#925516: libreoffice: Extension Manager: exception in synchronize

[rene@rene-engelhard.de]

Hi,

>>=> An empty directory

That btw is the correct path for system wide/bundled extensions. 700 can be seen as wrong, I agree.
With su - (it similar sudo) it should be working but unopkg is a mess.

That's why the extensions packaged don't run unopkg to register them themselves but just make LO "sync" extensions next run.

In any case: it's stable, won't get intrusive fixes, especially as buster is around the corner already.

I probably confused this with the same issue existing for user dirs...

Anyway, still user error.
