Can you please explain why you believe that the root cause is a hard
coded path in this extension? I unpacked the OXT and the embedded JAR
file and could not find any "libreoffice" string in any of the files
there. I could find all kind of other UI strings from the extension so
that I tend to believe my test showing that the path is *not* hard
coded.

What else makes you so sure that only the extension can be blamed for
this problem?


-------
Regarding your general point and closing this issue:

I totally understand - and agree with - your line of arguments and also
your view on what is proper with regard to file locations.

Nevertheless I kindly ask you to reconsider adding my workaround (or something 
more appropriate to the same effect) to the LO packages on Ubuntu for the 
following reasons:
* Users don't know or care why something fails. They just get frustrated. If we 
as Ubuntu have the chance to help them then we should do so.
* If we can add a fix to Ubuntu that does not harm anybody but helps some 
people then IMHO we should do so - not as a step down from our high principles 
but as a step up towards just helping our users.
* I estimate that we can "fix" 90% of Linux users of this extension
* I have the impression that fixing it here will be much easier then getting 
DeutschePost to fix it, they don't really care about us.
