Public bug reported: Fresh install of raring, I tried to open a writing template and it said it was necessary for jre to be installed.
I'm installing the recommended packages to see if it'll help. Previous versions did not have this issue. Recommended packages: libreoffice-gcj libreoffice-filter-binfilter default-jre gcj-jre java-gcj-compat openjdk-6-jre openjdk-7-jre sun-java5-jre sun-java6-jre java5-runtime jre libreoffice-java-common libreoffice-base terminal said that libreoffice-gcj was not available. After installing recommended packages, the .dot file works just fine. These extra packages weren't necessary for opening .dot files in previous versions.
