Description robin.bankhead 2011-03-11 12:19:33 UTC 
http://download.openoffice.org/other.html shows the Windows version as available without JRE, but the link

http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/localized/en-GB/3.3.0/OOo_3.3.0_Win_x86_install_en-GB.exe

returns a 404. However, http://download.openoffice.org/md5sums/3.3.0_md5sums.txt includes an md5sum for that installer:

6d9edc44e5329a4e14be4a4192b5f7b0  OOo_3.3.0_Win_x86_install_en-GB.exe

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding anything here, but the existence of the md5sum presumably means the installer had to have been present in repos at some point, but it certainly isn't there now (and I have checked a handful of mirrors across the globe).

What's occurring?

Unfortunately, only the wJRE version was tested and released, not the one without JRE. The download webpage cannot handle this special case.

If you need this file you can take the install set that is still available as Release Candidate. As there are no known problems with installation or localization it's very likely that this file will work like the others, too:

http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.openoffice.org/extended/3.3.0rc10/OOo_3.3.0rc10_20110118_Win_x86_install_en-GB.exe

Otherwise you can download the wJRE and just don't install the included JRE.

Thanks for the info but I still don't understand how there is an md5sum but no file to have been md5summed?

That's the part I consider a bug.
Comment 4 Marcus 2011-03-15 09:17:23 UTC 
you have to know that the release of every single file is in the responsibility of the respective native language team, that means every language can release a different set of installation sets

this makes it very difficult to keep the md5sums file a mirror of the released files and not more, this cannot be handled in a maintainable way, so we just put the complete list from the RC 10 release online

getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity".
For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.
Comment 7 robin.bankhead 2012-06-14 16:49:38 UTC 
Was reminded about this by the previous comment causing me to be emailed. (Sidebug: is there any way I can unsubscribe from being mailed about this bug? I've long since moved to LibreOffice.)

You know, nobody yet answered the question of why there was an md5sum listed next to a file that, according to the respondents above, never existed. That's all I was asking, but I expect the answer is lost in the mists of time and irrelevance by now...
