I have to confess that I don't have any clue what to do with this issue [1].

We have a target in instset_native/util to build a "updatepack" but
it breaks on my Linux system when it tries to build a Germany
language pack. But I have no language selected and it should build
en-US only.

Do we really have problems with an upgrade on Linux systems?

I tend to mark it as non critical. Any opinions?

I'm not sure what the original reporter is talking about.

"In previous OO release, for example, OO 3.3, this is "update" package
under root package." seems to point to the update shell script.

If so, this is trunk/main/setup_native/scripts/update.sh delivered as
update to the solver. But I couldn't find any line on scp2 including
this shell script in the install set.


do you have recognized any problems installing aOO3.4 on Linux over
a 3.3. Or does anybody else have noticed any problems?

Well, things are rather distro-specific.
I would suggest not to update, but to remove first OOo and then install
AOO. On the other hand, it is rather likely that some package conflicts
with libreoffice, so installing AOO will need some manual tweaking.

On Fedora, for example, there was the issue with the URE package
http://openoffice.org/projects/www/lists/users/archive/2010-11/message/581

Now AOO URE package is obsoleted by libreoffice's package:


Examining openoffice.org-ure-3.4.0-9587.x86_64.rpm:
openoffice.org-ure-3.4.0-9587.x86_64
Cannot install package openoffice.org-ure-3.4.0-9587.x86_64. It is
obsoleted by installed package 1:libreoffice-ure-3.4.5.2-5.fc16.x86_64

So you have to edit yum.conf

su -c 'vim /etc/yum.conf'

and exclude libreoffice:

exclude=libreoffice*


Some kind of conflict also exists in Ubuntu, and I guess many other
distros.

probably yes :-(


Back to the update shell script, I downloaded
OOo_3.2.1_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm-wJRE_en-US.tar.gz and tried that
script. At least on Fedora is completely broken, it does nothing. And as
installing in Linux will for sure need some manual tweaking, it is not
worth wasting the time trying to bring that script back in AOO.

I agree we should not spent too much time on this
