[SOLVED] libreoffice-still broken by liborcus update

 I have not found libreoffice-still in artix repos.

Downgrading liborcus work, but it will not survive a pacman -Syuu update.

Hi,

Try downloading LibreOffice-still from Omniverse repo, it should be working.

omniverse?

I have to check where it is this repo, it is first time I've heard of it, but probably is my fault.

Trying to install it, but it complains about most recent versions of some packges installed than those present in omniverse:

Quote
-> ncurses5-compat-libs: local (6.4-1) is newer than omniverse (6.2-1)
 -> perl-cairo-gobject: local (1.005-1) is newer than omniverse (1.004-12)
 -> perl-gtk3: local (0.038-3) is newer than omniverse (0.038-2)

There is no harm or there is a way to suppress these warnings?

Thanks for answering.

Regards

Carlo D.

these warnings should be fixed now

As of 27.03.2023 LibreOffice Fresh is still broken it "starts" (doesn't start) like this: see attached screenshot.

If Arch has newer packages and doesn't follow Arch (here: libocurus ver. 0.18 vs Arch's 0.17) then all packages that depend on it should be compiled with the version in Artix repository. Mix and don't-match is not a solution. It breaks things. Either Artix follows Arch versioning or recompiles all new things that is has newer/other than Arch. I don't understand this policy.

Is this done on purpose? Should I go now and buy four licenses?:
MS Windows 11
MS Office
Adobe Acrobat PDF Maker for Word
Acrobat Distiller (Windows)

Is this the exact intent? Someone here works for Microsoft? Why not follow Arch versioning to have working dependencies and major packages that are in the main repo of every distro? Either we follow package versioning or we have newer version and packages that depend on them also compiled with those versions. Yet another unofficial repo for main packages with its own version, compilations and dependancies that will further break things is a total no-go. Someone tryes to sell me those four licenses mentioned above? What is goin on?

Going to echo @sonar 's post, I don't think that using a separate repository is a valid solution to the issue. I'm unable to launch libreoffice because the issue persists and the dependencies are off.

Can we see some movement on a real solution instead of a workaround?

fresh or still ?
Launch from a terminal and post the output.

I noticed the posts about liborcus and libreoffice.
Though I was lucky and have never had an issue I was curious about liborcus, what depended on it? Turns out libixion alone.
What depended on libixion. Nothing seemed to depend on that.
Removed them both. My libreoffice still works

Using libreoffice-still version 7.4.6-1
And here's the output:
Code: [Select]
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: liborcus-0.17.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When updating using yay, liborcus updates to 0.18.1-1, breaking my libreoffice.

Trying to do that will break libreoffice, because they are both required dependencies of libreoffice.

If I install librocus from the extra repo, it will work. But it does not survive a general update  :'(

OK I'm using libreoffice-fresh 7.5.1.2-1.1
That may explain why I've not had the issues others experienced ?

I tend to forget that libreoffice-still is even in an Artix repo. I don't have omniverse enabled.

libreoffice-fresh v 7.5.2-1 worked. I guess if I run into this error again I'll check the other version (fresh or still) to see if it persists. Thank you for your assistance! And I apologize that my first post in the forum likely sounded angry. I love Artix and I have been using it for the better part of 2 years now. This system is so great!
