ii libreoffice 1:4.2.7-0ubuntu2 amd64 office
productivity suite (metapackage)
ii libreoffice-core 1:4.2.7-0ubuntu2 amd64 office
productivity suite -- arch-dependent files
I installed libreoffice on a bare-bones server, to run headless - just
doing 'apt-get install libreoffice'. By default, the EPS image support
was broken in a non-obvious way - templates with EPS files would open,
but the image would be a blank/transparent frame and no error was
generated.
It turned out that I needed the 'ghostscript' package as well. For
whatever reason, that wasn't installed by default on the server, and
installing libreoffice didn't pull it in.
I would suggest that this be a dependency of the package; while for
desktop users it's probably not an issue, and therefore is a small
portion of the userbase, until LO gets native EPS support this could
confuse people.
