Since LO *is* installed on my system, please tell me what's wrong or missing: $ rpm -qa libreoffice\* libreoffice-calc-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-pdfimport-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-langpack-de-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-draw-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-ure-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-graphicfilter-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-emailmerge-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-filters-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-pyuno-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-math-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-base-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-writer-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-core-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-gtk3-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-impress-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.x86_64 libreoffice-opensymbol-fonts-5.1.1.3-2.fc24.noarch
Aforementioned in Comment 1, you seem to be missing libreofficekit package. Please do dnf install libreofficekit
That did the trick, thanks. But may I suggest adding libreofficekit as a weak dependency to gnome-documents?
Thanks for helping out, Pranav! We should add some sort of dependency on libreofficekit to gnome-documents.spec. Even though the code using libreofficekit lives in the gnome-documents-libs sub-package, I think the dependency should be added to gnome-documents because gnome-books (the other app built from the sources) will not use those code paths.

I am currently leaning towards a simple 'Requires: libreofficekit' so that we can minimize the effort needed to maintain the "libreofficekit is missing" code path. From #fedora-desktop on GIMPNet: 12:22 <rishi> kalev: Hey! 12:22 <rishi> Would it be an issue if I add "Requires: libreofficekit" to gnome-documents.spec ? Or would it be better to handle it through comps? 12:25 <mclasen> doesn't it get pulled in automatically as a library dep ? 12:34 <kalev> rishi: hey, I don't think it would be an issue as we're installing most of libreoffice by default anyway 12:54 <rishi> mclasen: No. For gnome-documents it is a purely JS dependency, and, as far as I know, nothing else uses libreofficekit. 12:54 <rishi> kalev: Ok.
