** Description changed:
- libreoffice autopkgtests are failing on disco with openjdk
- 11.0.3+4-2ubuntu1.
+ [Impact]
- The likely culprit is that change:
+ * A recent OpenJDK update changes the value of the "java.vendor"
+ property from "Oracle Corporation" to "Private Build". This breaks the
+ code in LibreOffice that detects an installed JVM.
- +openjdk-lts (11.0.3+4-2ubuntu1) disco; urgency=medium
- +
- + * Sync packages with 11.0.3+4-2:
- + [ Matthias Klose ]
- + - Configure with vendor flags.
+ * The fix is currently in LibreOffice 6.2.3 on eoan.
- Indeed with version 11.0.3+4-1ubuntu1:
+ [Test Case]
- $ java -XshowSettings -version 2>&1 | grep "java.vendor "
- java.vendor = Oracle Corporation
+ 1. Launch the LibreOffice Start Center
+ 2. Open Tools > Options
+ 3. Navigate to LibreOffice > Advanced
+ 4. A JRE should be listed with Location: /usr/lib/jvm/...
- And with version 11.0.3+4-2ubuntu1:
+ [Regression Potential]
- $ java -XshowSettings -version 2>&1 | grep "java.vendor "
- java.vendor = Private Build
+ * This fix is small and concentrated so potential for regression should
+ be relatively low.
- Looking at the code in Libreoffice that looks for a JVM, it validates
- the vendor against a hardcoded list of known vendors:
-
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/jvmfwk/plugins/sunmajor/pluginlib/vendorlist.cxx?h=libreoffice-6-2#n33
-
- Not sure what the purpose of that upstream code is, but this means the
- new openjdk-11 build in Ubuntu breaks it.
