libreoffice-calc-7.1.3.2_4: Cannot Launch LibreOffice Calc

[ghost]

System

• xuname: Void 5.15.5_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD uptodate rF
• package: affected package(s) including the version: libreoffice-calc-7.1.3.2_4

Expected behavior

sudo xbps-install -u libreoffice-calc should install LibreOffice Calc and it should be launch-able.

Actual behavior

sudo xbps-install -u libreoffice-calc provides the libreoffice command and fails to launch with error: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'. If installing the entirety of libreoffice (or maybe libreoffice-base) is required to run LibreOffice Calc, it should not be install-able separately, or dependencies must be pulled in. Also, JRE is required for LibreOffice. When I installed libreoffice-calc, JRE wasn't pulled in as a dependency. The error that I included was after installing openjdk8-jre separately.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

• Run sudo xbps-install -u libreoffice-calc
• Try launching LibreOffice Calc

Can confirm libreoffice-calc is missing a jre dependency, but i also do not think it would be smart to include one (for obvious reasons).

this is why you're unable to use libreoffice-calc by itself.

Do you have any installed language packs? They are needed to launch the applications, afaik.

Re. Java, I hadn't realized it was necessary now. We can consider adding a virtual dependency.

Language pack isn't enough, I tried installing that too

Can you confirm what package made it work? I know it works locally...

I haven't been able to get it to work without the big package, I think the point is that libreoffice-calc and the like are meant to be modules / extensions, not standalone.

installing -base help here

installing -base help here

are you sure? iirc I had base installed too... I'll check tommorow.

[ericonr]

I have #34272 going, it would be nice to include any changes directly.

I installed libreoffice-base; it still doesn't work. Here is a screenshot of the dependencies when I try to install libreoffice (after libreoffice-calc, libreoffice-base, and openjdk8-jre):

My point is that installing libreoffice-calc separately should ideally not be possible if all the libreoffice packages are required for it to run, and they aren't pulled in as dependencies. This makes it very confusing.

[ericonr]

I get your point, we are trying to investigate what exactly is missing so we can fix the packages.

Can you confirm that installing libreoffice makes it work, then?

-calc needs -writer. -writer doesn't need -calc, I think

[ghost]

@ericonr Yes, I confirm. Installing libreoffice makes it work.
