No, it didn't. As you say already in your other mail this is a diversion. If your system was clean before there was no issue (there was a short time where the diversion was broken, yes... -base diverts dialog.xlc (and others) because I don't see the need on forcing Access2Base macros (yes, doing what it says...) on everyone. This is basically the case since ages: libreoffice (1:4.3.0~rc3-2) experimental; urgency=low * Brown paper bag release * debian/patches/handle-symlinks-to-icon-themes-correctly.diff: as name says; from upstream * debian/rules: - fix typo so export DISABLE_CVE_TESTS=TRUE is actually set - add symlinks for images*.zip again - s/iceweasel-dev/npapi-sdk-dev/. Re-enable system-npapi-headers - ENABLE_AVAHI=n (closes: #749770, #755309) * debian/libreoffice-base.preinst.in: fix version check (closes: #755290) * debian/libreoffice-base.postrm.in: add more checks for the Access2Base diversions; add forgotten recommended abort-upgrade step from policy manual -- Rene Engelhard <r...@debian.org> Sat, 19 Jul 2014 09:57:19 +0200 [...] libreoffice (1:4.3.0~beta1-1) experimental; urgency=low * new upstream beta release - fixes unconditional execution of VBA macros (CVE-2014-0247) * debian/patches/odk-no-dot.diff: HAVE_DOT=NO in Doxyfiles to prevent loads of error: " Problems running dot: exit code=127, command='dot'" * debian/patches/disable-ftp-nohost-test.diff: remove, seems to work now * debian/rules: - move /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/basic/Access2Base from -common to -base, as it clearly is Base-specific * debian/control.in: - add Replaces: for the Access2Base move * debian/libreoffice-base.{preinst,postrm}.in: dpkg-divert dialog.xlc and script.xlc... FIXME: Better, scalable solution.. * debian/control.help.in: - make -help-* depend on -style-default (closes: #748434) -- Rene Engelhard <r...@debian.org> Fri, 23 May 2014 07:31:12 +0200 And those didn't change since then.
