Fortunately, they yet exist! LOL, if you don't look closely, yes. If you look closely there's no "upgrade". That "mysql-connector-linux_4-3_x86_64.oxt" from above was done 4.3 Dec 22, 2014 LibreOffice 4.3 These are the mysql-connectors for x86 (32 bit) and x86-64 (64 bit) for linux. LGPL-v3+ (GNU Lesser General Public License Version 3 and later) final So > 3 years ago, and only claims compatibility with LO 4.3 after all. And I've no idea how/why they hacked up the version but what we build out of LibreOffice currently is the current version. rene@rpi3:~/tmp/core/mysqlc$ grep version ./source/description.xml #<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <version value="1.0.2" /> <OpenOffice.org-minimal-version value="3.3" d:name="OpenOffice.org 3.3"/> Regards, Rene
