Bug ID: 173039
Summary: The DEB distribution of LibreOffice master daily build
contains files not accessible by regular users after
installation
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 27.2.0.0 alpha0+ master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Installation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I tried to install the 2026-07-29 06:28:25 master daily build today and
LibreOffice failed to launch with the following error message:
```text
The application cannot be started.
LibreOfficeDev user installation could not be processed due to missing access
rights. Please make sure that you
have sufficient access rights for the following location and restart
LibreOfficeDev:
/home/brlin/.config/libreofficedev/4
```
Upon deeper analysis it turns out the actual cause of this error is that
LibreOffice can't access many of the installed resource files due to the files
have the following Unix file permission:
```
LibreOfficeDev_27.2.0.0.alpha0_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS$ dpkg-deb --contents
lodevbasis27.2-core_27.2.0.0.alpha0-1_amd64.deb | grep rw-------
-rw------- root/root 15939 2026-07-29 12:26
./opt/libreofficedev27.2/share/autocorr/acor_dsb.dat
-rw------- root/root 19370 2026-07-29 12:26

-rw------- root/root 21872 2026-07-29 12:26
./opt/libreofficedev27.2/share/autocorr/acor_en-GB.dat
...stripped...
```
The permission of these file should instead by 0644, after fixing them on my
computer the app launches properly.
