Bug#743843: src:mesa: LibreOffice crahes at runtime
Package: src:mesa
Followup-For: Bug #743843
The latest version of LibreOffice seems to depend on OpenGL for
rendering/editing its diagrams. So when one attempts to edit a diagram it
crashes:
$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin /tmp/file.ods
Fontconfig error: "/home/winter/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf", line 25: no element found

Application Error
Since we do not have hardware acceleration present, LibreOffice tries to fall
back to the software renderer which is not installed. Launching LibreOffice with
the sw-renderer version of libgl fixes the problem:
$ apt-get download libgl1-mesa-swx11; dpkg -x libgl1-mesa-swx11*deb .; LD_PRELOAD=usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.6.0 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin /tmp/file.ods
However installing the software renderer is in conflict with the glx renderer
and would lead to the removal of a lot of application we intent to keep:
# apt-get install libgl1-mesa-swx11

After this operation, 3637 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Thus currently it is impossible to have a working LibreOffice application that
can edit diagrams and have totem installed at the same time. Since the initial
cause of this problem seems to be the absent symbol of the software rasterer I
joined this bug report.
