No English thesaurus on libreoffice other than en-us

[Glen Mehn]

This was fixed. You could even make a meta package, but there's currently no way to make an en-gb (or en-anything-but-us) dictionary or thesaurus that we can tell.

Which means that despite having a thesaurus package installed, I can't use it.

Regressed bug from switching to libreoffice from OOo.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Still present in 12.10.

Back to doing serious writing in another OS. Installing other thesauri from the libreoffice site does not work in Ubuntu either.
The end user should not have to make symlinks to get basic word processor functionality.
