So, who cares? > So reporting this against stable does not make any sense at all. It does: it records the issue, so others will know, and requests the maintainers (both in Debian and upstream) to do something about it at least in future versions. > Please try with bookworms package (that one has stable backports, but is Please do so. You’re in a much better position than I am, I don’t even have a bookworm/sid system and don’t plan on getting one either. > (And I still think such bugs should be reported upstream directly) And I still counter that you are in a much better position than me to do so. I don’t have the bandwidth to do that, I already lost over an hour fighting this (I ended up having to hack the font, renaming it in FontForge), and every day I don’t need to touch an office program is a better day. I don’t have accounts in upstreams’ bugtrackers, I cannot respond to the questions they will surely have and I cannot test their proposed fixes either. While I’m a DD, that does not mean I suddenly am a developer of *everything* (I have enough with the things I actually volunteered for), and as a package maintainer, it’s your responsibility to gate between the users (which, in this case, I am one) and upstream. > Oh, and I noticed #965236 is also still open, meaning PDF files >> generated by LibreOffice aren’t legal to distribute… > > Similiar for that one ;) Hmm, I wonder if the LO origtgz contains PDFs generated by LO and if that’s grounds to file a request for removal… Please let’s not go to petty infighting like this. I help out people with shell, C, assembly, weird porting questions, but here’s where you can help out with GUI things. I’d rather work in favour of a better world, but to do that everyone has to help. bye, //mirabilos -- When he found out that the m68k port was in a pretty bad shape, he did not, like many before him, shrug and move on; instead, he took it upon himself to start compiling things, just so he could compile his shell.
