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.
For the time-being, we are working around this by using
libreoffice-writer as the build-dep,
That is wrong imho.
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
