          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 59513
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: : /usr/bin/ links are likely placed in wrong package
                    and unversioned link is missing
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: sergio.calleg...@gmail.com
          Hardware: Other
        Whiteboard: BSA
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.0.0.1 rc
         Component: Libreoffice
           Product: LibreOffice

Problem description:

In the deb packages, the libreofficeX.Y and libreofficeX.Y-printeradmin
executable get symbolic links in /usr/bin only if the debian-menus package is
installed.

However, these links have nothing to do with the debian menus.

Since the debian-menus package from libreoffice 4RC1 and libreoffice3.6 are
mutually incompatible, this means that one can either have libreoffice3.6 or
libreoffice4.0 in the standard path, but not both, even if libreoffice3.6 and
libreoffice4RC1 appear to be simultaneously installable.

Furthermore a simple /usr/bin/libreoffice link (with no version appended, maybe
managed via the alternatives mechanism) is missing. This means that any script
invoking libreoffice must be manually updated at every libreoffice update.



Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.0.0.1 rc
