Package: libreoffice-base Version: 4.3.3-2+deb8u5 After an update I found that LibreOffice did not start anymore. It gave an error dialog saying:
Extension Manager: exception in synchronize After searching the web I found that this might happen if the user profile is defunct (that was not the case) or the Extention Manager has no access to some of the shared library locations: I found that including all rX on the following directories solved the bug. user@pudding:/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/lightproof_en/pythonpath$ ls -l total 44 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4078 May 15 2014 lightproof_handler_lightproof_en.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14966 May 15 2014 lightproof_impl_lightproof_en.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13965 May 15 2014 lightproof_lightproof_en.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 260 May 15 2014 lightproof_opts_lightproof_en.py drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Jan 24 10:58 __pycache__ user@pudding:/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/lightproof_en/pythonpath$ sudo chmod a+rX __pycache__/ user@pudding:/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/lightproof_en/pythonpath$ cd __pycache__/ user@pudding:/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/lightproof_en/pythonpath/__pycache__$ ls -l total 28 -rw-r----- 1 root root 4938 Jan 24 10:58 lightproof_handler_lightproof_en.cpython-34.pyc -rw-r----- 1 root root 14624 Jan 24 10:58 lightproof_impl_lightproof_en.cpython-34.pyc -rw-r----- 1 root root 435 Jan 24 10:58 lightproof_opts_lightproof_en.cpython-34.pyc user@pudding:/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/lightproof_en/pythonpath/__pycache__$ sudo chmod a+rX * After this it still did not work, I also changed: user@pudding:/var/spool/libreoffice/uno_packages/cache$ ls -l total 4 drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Jan 24 10:58 uno_packages user@pudding:/var/spool/libreoffice/uno_packages/cache$ sudo chmod a+rX * Then it worked. I did not try to undo the first change.
