Then don't run it. Or use it with a grain of salt.


That one is the "source" of which the real main.xcd in registry is created for 
by ucf. See libreoffice-commons maintainer scripts:

# Automatically added by dh_ucf/13.24.2
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-upgrade" ]; then
        ucf --three-way "/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/.registry/main.xcd" 
"/etc/libreoffice/registry/main.xcd"
        ucfr --force libreoffice-common "/etc/libreoffice/registry/main.xcd"
fi

i.e. dot-files are suspicious.

It's hidden because it's supposed to be hidden because it's not supposed to be 
touched by users. (and registry/ is taken anyway.) I could have choosen 
registry-original but that would be too visible, IMHO.


Regards,


Rene
