I use Ubuntu 17.04 also, including the Libreoffice packages installed
directly from Ubuntu. The default install excludes Base, and if you
can't open a database, it seems like you don't have Base installed. sudo
apt install libreoffice-base should fix that,
For reports the packages you need are libreoffice-report-builder and
libreoffice-report-builder-bin. Use sudo apt install
libreoffice-report-builder* and they should install.

is nothing that I can find in the__Ubuntu Software Repository that

packages I have installed and what packages are required forreports to
work. I have an old data base which has not been uses since January
2015 which I tried to open today. This will no longer open for any
thing , no forms or views or tables can be opened.

Hi Peter,
Libre Base 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2
Ubuntu 16.4
When I first found the problem I removed LibreBase and reinstalled it
but the problem with reportsremained the same.
This is a special Ubuntu-version of LO. Have a look into your
packagemanager. Did you install all packages for the
libreoffice-report-builder? Have heard there isn't only one package,
which should be installed for reports with the Ubuntu-version of LO.
Regards
Robert
