Unfortunately, the commit I linked to in comment #1 doesn't explain why coinmp support was disabled. The most likely reason is what Séb wrote, that a package in main cannot depend on a package in universe, and promoting a dependency from universe to main can be a tedious and time- consuming process.
Before going ahead with the MIR, I suggest listing all of coinmp's direct and indirect dependencies, and checking whether there are known bugs affecting these packages (in Ubuntu and Debian). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905422 Title: CoinMP Solver not Available, option requires coinmp to be promoted Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi! LibreOffice Calc supports the CoinMP Linear Solver, which is an excellent solver to be used in spreadsheets and makes LO Calc superior to other office suites in that regard. However, the build provided by this PPA does not come with CoinMP Solver enabled (see Tools > Solver > Options). I posted a question at Ask LibreOffice and I was informed that CoinMP is enabled by default during build and maybe the PPA maintainers chose to disable it. https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/240836/coinmp-solver-on- libreoffice-calc/ In fact, I built LibreOffice from source and CoinMP was there. However, building from source is not convenient and I'd like to use the PPA. Is it possible that CoinMP Solver be included in future builds of LibreOffice provided by this PPA? I am currently using LibreOffice 7.0.3.1 on Ubuntu 20.04.
