Is this common? I mean this would haven been reported far earlier/in many more cases? Isn't the "GNOME" Session defaulting to wayland nowadays?
Ah, both GNOME and KDE depend on xwayland. Which DE/WM do you use?
I use Sway on Wayland and during the installation of bullseye I didn't install neither Gnome/KDE, therefore xwayland was not pulled as a dependency by any package. I'm experimenting how far can I go with a pure Wayland without the "translation" layer provided by xwayland, so I guess I've stomped on a corner-case nobody has tested yet. I understand this might be a niche use-case for now (Gnome/KDE rely on xwayland) so I guess it's fine if you WONTFIX this issue. But I also think that Wayland-with-no-xwayland might be the way to the future (with a bumpy road to get there ...) and at some point Xorg and its dependencies will be dropped.
(Wrt your other mail, that package list is so obviously incomplete - and we TTBOMK don't patch any place which should affect this. What we do differ in is using system-libraries where possible - so one of these might affect this?
You're right and that's puzzling. I've installed on purpose only the vanilla Libreoffice packages I needed and it works without xwayland. I have no idea why, I don't have enough context to go deeper on this. Anyway, thank you for clarifying a few points and for maintaining the Debian package! regards,
