MRI 1.1.4 doesn't install on LibreOffice 5.4.4.2 as packaged by Debian #11

MRI 1.1.4 is the "latest" version available on the LibreOffice extension page.

Trying to install it from the"Manage extensions" dialog box gets a message box telling :

(com.sun.star.lang.WrappedTargetRuntimeException) { { { Message = "Bad Zip File, ZipException: Zip END signature not found!", Context = (com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @7fccd466b6a0 (ImplementationName = "com.sun.star.packages.comp.ZipPackage") } }, TargetException = (any) { (com.sun.star.uno.Exception) { Message = "Bad Zip File, ZipException: Zip END signature not found!", Context = (com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @7fccd466b6a0 (ImplementationName = "com.sun.star.packages.comp.ZipPackage") } } }

I went to your Github page and found the 1.3.3 version, which installed fine.

May I suggest to update the LibreOffice page ?

I have a second problem : the "Run MRI" page points the tentative user to to Tools -> Add-Ons -> MRI entry.

On a French LibreOffice Calc, I do not have a "Add-On" entry in the "Outils" (i. e. Tools) menu. I can try to run the macro My macros -> MRILib -> Module1 -> MRI, but that just frozen hard LibreOffice Calc (I had to kill it and restart).

Could you clarify ?

Post-scriptum : after restarting LibreOffice, I do now have an "Add-On" entry in the "Outils" menu. Could you clarify that in the installation instructins ?

As descrived in issue #1, MRI page of the LibreOffice extension repository is out of my control. I have no right to change the content of the page.

You should restart your office if you install or update some extensions. I always describe something like in the following page: https://github.com/hanya/MRI/wiki/Installation
