aha. ok, as I guessed, ODF format...
Do you remember changing the ODF default save version once?

For upstream LO code, yes. As said, going over all homes and removing
this line in maintainer scripts is a no-go.
Just asked on IRC (also Cced):
19:24 < _rene_> mst___: bugs.debian.org/949754. known?
19:24 < _rene_> mst___: something which should be handled in LO code?
19:24 < mst___> shivam_, yes that is expected, translations repo is large

19:24 -!- MechtiIde [~Mechtilde@2a02:2788:1004:59a::16] has joined #libreoffice-dev
19:25 < mst___> _rene_, that sounds like a very serious bug
19:25 < _rene_> mst___: yup...
19:25 < _rene_> mst___: no idea what the value he has means, though
19:25 < _rene_> mst___: that's why I ask :)
19:25 < mst___> i'd be very interested how to reproduce that
19:26 < _rene_> probably he changed some setting?
19:26 < _rene_> and then upgraded to 6.4 which doesn't like that setting?
19:26 < _rene_> it's registrymodifications.xcu. ttbomk that holds changed user settings compared to the default?
19:27 < mst___> ah he says this is the problem: <item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Common/Save/ODF"><prop
19:27 < mst___> oor:name="DefaultVersion" oor:op="fuse"><value>0</value></prop></item>
19:27 < mst___> iirc that's the ODF version in tools->options
19:27 < mst___> probably 0 is the oldest one?
19:29 < _rene_> I don't know, I assumed you do :)
19:29 < mst___> ah no 0 is "ODFVER_UNKNOWN" - wtf is that?
19:30 -!- dtardon [~dtardon@ip-89-177-152-132.net.upcbroadband.cz] has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
19:31 < _rene_> mst___: if you want me to ask him something, can do
19:32 < _rene_> I am already asking him whether he remembers setting ODF save settings
19:32 < mst___> uh i dont get it, there is no constant there for odf 1.2 extended or 1.2 extended(compatibility) - would need some investigation what is the
mapping between the dialog and the configuration
19:33 < mst___> lol ... i write that into registrymodfications.xcu and the dialog shows an empty combobox
19:34 < mst___> _rene_, maybe ask him if he remembers how he set this value, or if it shows up as smoething other than empty combo-box in
Load/Save->General->ODF format version
19:34 <@jmux> Any reason why ODFDefaultVersion has no 1.3 but ODFSaneDefaultVersion has?
19:34 < _rene_> ok, mind pasting this conversation?
19:34 < _rene_> (for reference)
As said above, did you change the ODF save version once? And how? And what does the combo-box look like?
Regards,
Rene
