Package: libreoffice-common
Version: 1:4.2.5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have Avahi service publishing disabled with the following setting in
/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf:

  [publish]
  disable-publishing=yes

Attempting to run either LibreOffice Draw or LibreOffice Impress fails, giving
an error message like this:

  $ soffice --draw
  Adding service 'pangloss'
  Failed to add _impressremote._tcp service: Not permitted
  soffice.bin: client.c:626: avahi_client_free: Assertion `client' failed.

With service publishing enabled, these applications start up normally.

I understand that Impress Remote is a new facility is to allow a mobile device
to control a presentation.  I couldn't find an option anywhere to turn this
facility off.

Disabling service publishing is IMHO a reasonable security measure which is
suggested in the avahi-daemon.conf man page; I use Avahi mDNS as a client for
printer discovery but don't need to broadcast services to the net.  I think
LibreOffice should be able to deal with this without refusing to run.

Kind regards,

Ken.
