[fixed with update] libreoffice-still-7.4.6.2-1.3 breaks localization

Hi all,

after upgrading to libreoffice-still-7.4.6.2-1.3 today, LibreOffice starts with the C locale (English) UI and one can't change the language, despite, in my case, libreoffice-still-de-7.4.6-1 being installed.

Downgrading to libreoffice-still-7.4.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst and liborcus-0.17.2-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst to make it work again fixes this, the UI is localized again (without changing the language pack).

What's wrong here?

Can you send us the output of the locale command?

I don't think it's about the locale. One can't even choose the language from the installed language pack inside LibreOffice. Only English is listed.

As said, simply downgrading and changing nothing else fixes it, so I think there's something wrong with the current version – it doesn't seem to see/find the language pack at all … maybe this is due to chaning the executable from "libreoffice" to "libreoffice7.4"? Maybe some paths have also been changed, and the language pack is now supposed to be installed somewhere else?

However, here you go:
Code: [Select]
$ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
