--- Comment #4 from Chih-Hsuan Yen <y...@chyen.cc> ---
Sorry for the late response, I was busy on other projects the past two weeks.

You're right. It's not a regression but an issue in both 6.2.0.3 and 6.2.1. In
both versions /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_kde5lo.so links to
libKF5KIOFileWidgets.so.5, and I got errors when opening or saving files.

It's fine to install them for myself, but maybe not for others. As a LXQt
developer, I need to make sure the default configuration of LibreOffice works
fine for almost all LXQt users.

The packaging philosophy of Arch Linux is somewhat different the Debian one. On
Arch Linux, there's only one `libreoffice-fresh` package, which includes the
kde5 VCL plugin as it's enabled at the compile time, and `kio` is just an
optional dependency as it's not required to run libreoffice on other desktop
environments. I don't think Arch Linux maintainers will move `kio` into
mandatory dependencies if they don't want complaints from users of GNOME or
MATE.
