Hi,
A FTBFS bug [1] cropped up in gpredict recently that appears to be to a change in libreoffice-writer-nogui. The build step that fails is: $ soffice --strace --writer --headless --convert-to pdf gpredict-user-manual.odt Warning: failed to launch javaldx - java may not function correctly Error: source file could not be loaded strace output shows a failed attempt to find libcuilo.so (shipped with libreoffice-core) just before "Error: source file could not be loaded" is output. Should libcuilo.so be included in libreoffice-core-nogui?
No it should not because it is *common UI*.
That LibreOffice upstream adds options and then let it bit-rot to the point that that they don't work as intended without adding totally unrelated stuff unfortunately is a fact. :(
Here it is adding a dependency on UI stuff for something not
needing UI.
In the meanwhile I actually reget having added -nogui for this reason.
That is wrong imho.For the time-being, we are working around this by using libreoffice-writer as the build-dep,
but the -nogui package should be sufficient and has worked in the past.
Yeah. Or just adding libreoffice-core (since you *can* mix them.) See also
