Hi Stephan,

What makes the soffice execuable so specific that the Debian ooffice
executable does not work? Please help us answering this question to
solve this Bug in Debian.

Is it the case that on Debian there is an executable named "ooffice" in $PATH but not an executable named "soffice"?

Yes.

Well, the OOo Java simple bootstrap mechanism needs to find an OOo installation, and one of the things it tries out is to search for a file named "soffice" in $PATH (other things are looking at an explicitly set $UNO_PATH, for example).

OK, this means that would mean that a simple link to ooffice called soffice should work, but it does not.

Hard to tell why it does not work without any further information...

Both files, the /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice and the /usr/bin/ooffice call the /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin and do some other things. And these other things make the difference. What is there so special?

You mean the Debian ooffice script looks substantially different from the standard soffice script?

Greetings, Tobias
