Ubuntu 18.04 and LibreOffice 6 break unoconv

Open MartinPaulEve opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

A note for @axfelix: I've just spent 2 hours trying to get Ubuntu 18.04 to run unoconv with Libreoffice 6+ to no avail. It seems that Libreoffice 6+ does not ship with its own internal python binary. I've tried symlinking this to my system-wide python3 but to no avail.

Without a fix for this, we have a problem processing doc files as I will not have the ability to debug and gradually client/server installs will migrate.

Bummer. I'm assuming this package doesn't do it? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/libreoffice-librelogo

Afraid not - I have that installed already. I did extensive debugging of unoconv and it's looking for a python binary inside the libreoffice directory. This seems not to exist in LO6+

I've filed a question over at Unoconv: https://github.com/dagwieers/unoconv/issues/443
