Problem description:
I ran into this problem last year, in the same month, and here I am
again. This section of code is in /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice:
---
# resolve installation directory
sd_cwd=`pwd`
if [ -h $0 ] ; then
sd_basename=`basename $0`
sd_script=`ls -l $0 | sed s/.*${sd_basename} - //g`
cd `dirname $0`
cd `dirname $sd_script`
else
cd `dirname $0`
fi
sd_prog=`pwd`
cd $sd_cwd

The gentoo developers rightly refer to this code as completely broken, as it
causes LibreOffice to puke on launch when trying to determine the month string
of its working directory if used on a system for which certain months use
non-standard characters.
For instance, in Gremany, the current month is März. Launching LO any
time between now and 2013-04-01 will cause LO to fail with the following
error:
-
$ libreoffice
ls: error initializing month strings
/usr/bin/libreoffice: line 58: cd: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 10.
Mä/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/libreoffice: line 180: /usr/bin/oosplash: No such file or directory
Steps to reproduce:
1. set the filesystem locale to German (any variant)
2. try to launch LO in the month of March
3. cry
Current behavior: the launcher pukes
Expected behavior: the launcher could maybe use a coreutil that is
pretty good at reading month strings? In any case, it should launch
properly.
Cheers,
Operating System: Linux (Other)

Set LC_ALL=C
The script should be locale independent. Set LC_ALL=C to do this.

Unconditionally overwriting locale settings might have unintended
consequences for the started LibreOffice program. Thus I have written
two alternative patches:
1. libreoffice_bug62192_minimal_fix.patch
This fixes the offending 'ls' call only.
2. libreoffice_bug62192_involved_fix.patch
This saves the current LC_ALL setting, sets the POSIX locale for (most of) the
script, and restores the original setting before exec'ing the LibreOffice
binary.
The minimal fix seems quite safe, but the more invovled one should be
tested on several different systems.
BTW, this bug is not reproducible with Debian GNU/Linux (checked, old
stable, stable and unstable), because the GNU sed used copes with non-
ASCII input.
