Bug#933271: libreoffice: Should recommend libreoffice-gnome
Source: libreoffice
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainers,
LibreOffice is not able to read/write to GVFS mounts (GIO) if
libreoffice-gnome is not installed. If I am not wrong, libreoffice-gnome
is installed automatically only in the following cases when installing a
Debian computer:
- when choosing task-gnome-desktop (which recommends libreoffice-gnome)
- when choosing task-gnome-cinammon (which depends on
cinnamon-desktop-environment, which recommends libreoffice-gnome)
This means that when installing Debian with a desktop environment,
LibreOffice is not able to read/write files on GVFS mounts on:
- KDE (I think it uses KIO instead of GIO, so it might work in another way)
- Mate
- XFCE
- LXDE
- LXQT
I believe that installing a Debian desktop with "recommended"
dependencies enabled should automatically install libreoffice-gnome so
that this functionality is not broken. Especially because when
LibreOffice fails it is very difficult to understand where it comes from
(it could be an issue with the SMB share or with GVFS).
Could you make libreoffice (or another package like task-desktop)
recommends libreoffice-gnome?
Thanks for your time and work,
Yvan
