Package: parallel Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
I just looked whether the idlc removal in 7.5 (or other changes...) would break stuff depending on libreoffice. While doing this I noticed that parallel does [...] libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf parallel_cheat_bw.fodt \ || echo "Warning: libreoffice failed. Using old parallel_cheat_bw.pdf" [...] in its tests. Note the --headless. This is exactly the reason why libreoffice-*-nogui were introduced. ;) Admittedly minor, but it doesn't do harm to use it :) (Since it's arch all and arch all is built on amd64 anyway that libreoffice-*-nogui is available on only a subset of archs is no issue either) Trivial patch. diff -Nru parallel-20220722+ds/debian/control parallel-20220722+ds/debian/control --- parallel-20220722+ds/debian/control 2022-07-27 11:26:27.000000000 +0200 +++ parallel-20220722+ds/debian/control 2022-11-26 15:08:12.000000000 +0100 @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ pod2pdf, libpod-pom-view-restructured-perl, texinfo, - libreoffice-writer + libreoffice-writer-nogui Rules-Requires-Root: no Standards-Version: 4.6.1 Homepage: https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/ Regards, Rene
