I suspected as much when both packages seemed to work :-) but can we change the Libre Office packages to depend upon JRE instead ? Openjdk6 is missing a lot of functionality such as browser support, JRE would be a better choice..
As already explained LibreOffice depends on java-runtime and not on openjdk6. So it's up to you which JRE or JDK you install. If you don't install one explicitly OpenJDK is installed. But you can easily install Oracle's JRE or JDK instead (pacman -S jre) and the dependency is still resolved. If java-runtime would be replaced by jre in the depends then it was not possible anymore to have OpenJDK and LibreOffice installed at the same time. So people who want to use LibreOffice would be forced to using JRE and prevented from using OpenJDK or vice versa. And, btw., libreoffice can't depend on jre directly, because libreoffice is in [extra] and jre is in [community]. Heiko
