Jup.

I agree, but Cisco should not ship broken packages...

grr.

There should not be *anything* in /etc/opt, except for totally broken
packages. But you have a point, LO should survive that...

So I quickly pointed upstream to your comment:

17:09 <@_rene_> sberg: FYI: 
                http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=677601#34
17:11 <@sberg> _rene_, that should ultimately become a non-issue with 
<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/LibreOffice4#UNO_related_changes>'s
 "drop support for /etc/opt/ure and ~/.ure, cf. ure/source/README"
17:12 <@_rene_> ah, nice.
17:12 <@_rene_> have a patch for that already? (I'd then just backport it.)
17:12 -!- ricotz [~rico@ubuntu/member/ricotz] has joined #libreoffice-dev
17:13  * _rene_ knows Debian will never have a ure in /etc/opt/ure :)
17:13 <@sberg> _rene_, no, but it shouldn't be too difficult to grep for the 
               relevant place(s)
17:13 <@_rene_> yeah, will do.
17:13 <@sberg> _rene_, IIRC, its just mentioned in some .ini/rc files

So fixing it in the same way even before LO4 (as we *do* know that we'll never
have a /etc/opt/ure in Debian) by removing it now would also fix this..

Regards,

Rene
