[Olivier Tilloy]

autopkgtests for libreoffice 6.0.1-0ubuntu1 (currently in bionic-proposed) are consistently failing:

I can reproduce the failure locally.

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

It appears the xTextDirectionList dropdown is not really visible in the page dialog:

    (Pdb) xTextDirectionList.State[8].value.Name
    'ReallyVisible'
    (Pdb) xTextDirectionList.State[8].value.Value
    'false'

In writer, that dropdown is not visible until the "Asian" checkbox is checked in the Language Settings (and it's not checked by default).

Bug reported upstream: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115908

https://salsa.debian.org/libreoffice-team/libreoffice/libreoffice/commit/ef1bd99104bb40e1605ceee9ec336456c2a5d74d supposedly fixed that issue, but it obviously didn't, at least not on ubuntu.

I am going to disable that test for now to unblock the transition, and we can revisit later based on future feedback on the upstream bug report.

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

It turns out this is due to missing files in the l10n packages:

> I see (at least) /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry/ctl_he.xcd
> missing on a first glance.

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

And manually installing the missing files makes the tests pass.
