[upstream] /usr/lib/openoffice/share/samples/fr doesn't exist

[Jonathan Ernst]

How to reproduce :

run OpenOffice.org in another locale (fr_FR.UTF-8 for example)
file/new/templates and documents (modèles et documents)
click on sample (exemples)

You get an error message saying that /usr/lib/openoffice/share/samples/fr doesn't exist (only /usr/lib/openoffice/share/samples/en-US/ exists).

I have this error on gutsy fully up-to-date.

I'll have to look into this bug some more soon, but as far as /usr/lib/openoffice/share/samples/en_US existing... it doesn't either.

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Well technically it does exist, but only the directory does, no files exist under it.

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Confirmed on openoffice.org 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.

After talking to Sun this appears to be an upstream bug that I need to send to them. Apparently scp2 does not create the directory unless there is a file in it.

Jonathan Ernst, does this issue occur for you in LibreOffice?

@Christopher M. Penalver

I don't have an error message anymore in LibreOffice, however the Sample folder appears empty.

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
