Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
A bit of context: Currently libreoffice suggests libreoffice-gnome | libreoffice-kde and libreoffice-gnome depends on libreoffice-gtk. libreoffice-kde provides qt widgets and therefor doesn't depend on libreoffice-gtk. I agree that the gtk/qt gui should be automatically installed but according to http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch- pkg_basics.en.html#s-depends, libreoffice-gnome | libreoffice-kde | libreoffice-gtk doesn't qualify as a dependency but it might as a recommendation.. Does the software-center install recommendations by default? How are the packages for the "extra" section chosen? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841696 Title: LibreOffice should depend on libreoffice-gtk Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm using Xubuntu Oneiric amd64 Beta1. I installed LibreOffice Writer via the Ubuntu Software Centre, but when I launched it, the DPI was wrong and it looked ugly. I then closed it and installed libreoffice- gtk via Synaptic and that fixed it. Surely that should happen automatically to prevent users seeing an ugly UI.
