From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Epiphany/1.0.4 Description of problem: The main OO.org package is missing a dep for OO.org-i18n. If i18n isn't installed openoffice doesn't run. If a user has never run openoffice it fails when setting up there preferences. If they have run openoffice before it sig 11s and gives a nice stack trace. This is rather anoying since it breaks all new installs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.2-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do a fresh install of RHEL 3 WS U3 2. Try to run openoffice Actual Results: openoffice crashes one way or another Expected Results: it should start properly Additional info:
This bug is considered a show stopper for deploying RHEL and NCSU. Kinda hard to be productive when the office suite doesn't work. :-) I'd attach the stack trace that OO.org prints out, but it is simply that the openoffice.org-i18n package is missing.
Ummmm, 1.1.2-x isn't supported on RHEL3 yet. The latest version of OOo on RHEL3 is 1.1.0-16.14.EL. Are you saying that you've tried to compile the most current OOo (from Fedora Core 3 test 2) on RHEL3?
This affects openoffice.org-1.1.0-16.14.EL as well. I was just looking at the most recent version openoffice in rhn when I selected a version number.
Oh, and we're not trying to run the 1.1.2-x series.
Ok, in that case, can somebody get a backtrace for me? Thanks!
Created attachment 104804 [details] OO stack trace Here you are...one stack trace from OO
Any chance of this getting fixed any time soon?
Yes, we're going to have a fix for U5.

openoffice.org-1.1.2-19.2.EL3 has been built for U5 and takes care of this problem.
Fixed in: RHEL3: 1.1.2-22.2.2.EL3
