OK, times change. A recent installation of bookworm does have Impress,
my sid workstation doesn't, and I can't remember which stable this
originated from.
Both have libreoffice-base-core, shared libraries for Base, Calc and
writer but neither have Base itself, nor Report Builder. Understandable,
as last time I tried them they were both unusably buggy. RB completely
failed to run one day when I needed an invoice in a hurry, so I threw
together something with php-tcpdf and never went near RB again. I
suppose it might be OK now. It took Base a couple of years to get a
native MySQL driver, before which the unspeakable Linux odbc driver had
to be used, and sometimes worked.
