Description Cosimo Cecchi 2013-04-01 15:39:59 UTC
Since the move to Libreoffice 4.0, unoconv stopped working in Fedora, always failing with this error:

unoconv: Cannot find a suitable pyuno library and python binary combination in /usr/lib64/libreoffice
ERROR: No module named uno

unoconv: Cannot find a suitable office installation on your system.
ERROR: Please locate your office installation and send your feedback to:
       http://github.com/dagwieers/unoconv/issues

The reason seems to be the move to Python3. Upstream activity seems to be a bit stalled recently, but there are patches available to solve this in the bug tracker [1]. I think we should apply those patches in Fedora.
This is quite relevant because without it, gnome-documents won't be able to preview any office documents.

Comment 1 David Tardon 2013-04-08 07:30:58 UTC
It cannot find uno.py, which is only present in
%{_libdir}/python3.3/site-packages, but not in %{_libdir}/python2.7/site-packages . So we can fix either:
1. unoconv: apply the python3 patch and change unoconv's shebang to "#!/usr/bin/env python3", or,
2. libreoffice: install uno.py and unohelper.py for python2 too (which means build-requiring both versions of python, but we already build-require half of the world anyway).

I will commit the fix for 1/, since I have it prepared already, but it might make more sense to do 2/ eventually.
