Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] Installation of libreoffice

As pacman will happily install multiple replacement packages, I would suggest removing the provides= line from libreoffice-common and adding replaces=libreoffice to the split packages that should get installed when upgrading.
And 'libreoffice-langpack' needs to be removed from depends of libreoffice-common. It doesn't make much sense to have it in depends and in optdepends anyway. I think it's better to keep it in optdepends, maybe with a post install note that no language package has been installed. Because of this someone got his language pack been uninstalled and replaced by a different one by pacman -Syu. See the bug report I have mentioned earlier. Heiko

i thought there was a choosing phase before actually install a language pack when upgrading. the default choice is alphabetically the first, which may caused the problem you just depicted. best regards,

If you install libreoffice-common for the first time libreoffice-langpack is installed as a dependency and then you get the chooser, but not if you upgrade libreoffice with pacman -Syu. Nevertheless libreoffice-langpack currently is in both depends and optdepends in libreoffice-common which is at least redundant. Well, the language pack issue mentioned in the bug report regarding the libreoffice group issue seems to be related to clyde, not to pacman. Heiko

i pacman -Syu'ed yesterday, and i got to choose which language pack to install. i guess it is the problem of the pacman wrapper you are using. best regards,

It was not me that was using clyde. ;-) But it indeed seems to be related to clyde. If you have already installed a language pack pacman -Syu keeps and upgrades this language pack. But if you have no language pack installed pacman -Syu shows the language chooser. I guess that this chooser was not presented to this user is an issue with clyde. Remain the issues that libreoffice-langpack is in both depends and optdepends of libreoffice-common, which is at least redundant, and the libreoffice group issue which ought to be fixed by removing 'libreoffice' from provides of libreoffice-common.

Are you sure? I just upgraded last night with pacman -Syu and got the language pack chooser. After pacman -S libreoffice-impress, I'm able to work on my slides fine.
