weak dependency to libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb

[Jérôme Bouat]

[Verification and regression analysis is all handled via the main SRU bug of LP: #1913353 (for groovy) and LP: #1906684 (for focal)]

The user can't create a new Base file with the wizard if the libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb package isn't installed. The package libreoffice-base-drivers has only a "suggests" dependency to libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb. It should have a "depends" dependency.

The fix for both the focal and groovy branch has been committed and will be picked up in the next SRU for each release.

[Heather Ellsworth (hellsworth)]

Turns out the current fix (just adding libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb) causes openjdk to be pulled in on ISOs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1918308

Changing the status of this bug until an alternative solution is found.

[Jérôme Bouat (jeromebouat)]

If you keep this dependency weak then Libreoffice Base doesn't work. Next the user has the feeling that Ubuntu doesn't work.

As a clean workaround, maybe we could change the following packages dependencies of the ISOs :
- remove libreoffice (=> openjdk isn't pulled anymore)
- add libreoffice-calc
- add libreoffice-draw
- add libreoffice-impress
- add libreoffice-math
- add libreoffice-writer

However, openjdk-11 requires only 171 MB for x86_64.

[Heather Ellsworth (hellsworth)]

My last comment was incorrect. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1918308 is a different issue altogether.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for libreoffice has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
