Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15622
wrong links to setup, spadmin, soffice where /home is a link
Last modified: 2004-03-18 15:12:35 UTC
On my machine the HOME dir is a link: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2002-11-26 21:18 home -> /mnt/dsk2/home After installing (setup -net) OOo under /opt/OpenOffice1.1beta2 and subsequently installing it for the user (setup) the links found under /home/user/OpenOffice1.1beta2 for 'setup', 'spadmin', 'soffice' point to the wrong files. This is new behaviour, not prenent in previous verions of OOo.
I can't reproduce. Setup as described to /opt as root, then installing OOo 1.1 as user and all links point to /opt/Open...
Herewith a transcript of my dir + result after setup. As you can see the links point WRONG. At least in my machine it is perfectly reproducable. ========================================================= tesgeb@mstreech:/mnt/dsk2/home/tesgeb> ls Desktop Documents public_html tesgeb@mstreech:/mnt/dsk2/home/tesgeb> ll /home lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2002-11-26 21:18 /home -> /mnt/dsk2/home tesgeb@mstreech:/mnt/dsk2/home/tesgeb> /opt/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta2/setup tesgeb@mstreech:/mnt/dsk2/home/tesgeb> ll OpenOffice.org1.1/ totaal 568 -r--r--r-- 1 tesgeb users 7761 2003-05-09 07:10 LICENSE -r--r--r-- 1 tesgeb users 8305 2003-05-09 07:10 LICENSE.html -r--r--r-- 1 tesgeb users 13664 2003-05-09 07:10 README -r--r--r-- 1 tesgeb users 12299 2003-05-09 07:10 README.html -rw-r--r-- 1 tesgeb users 451339 2003-06-20 20:51 instdb.ins lrwxrwxrwx 1 tesgeb users 58 2003-06-20 20:51 setup -> ../../../mnt/dsk2/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta2/program/setup -rw-r--r-- 1 tesgeb users 59957 2003-06-20 20:51 setup.log lrwxrwxrwx 1 tesgeb users 60 2003-06-20 20:51 soffice -> ../../../mnt/dsk2/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta2/program/soffice lrwxrwxrwx 1 tesgeb users 60 2003-06-20 20:51 spadmin -> ../../../mnt/dsk2/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta2/program/soffice drwxr-xr-x 17 tesgeb users 4096 2003-06-20 20:51 user lrwxrwxrwx 1 tesgeb users 30 2003-06-20 20:51 x.lnk -> /home/tesgeb/OpenOffice.org1.1 tesgeb@mstreech:/mnt/dsk2/home/tesgeb>
It's not that I won't belive you. But as long as I can't reproduce we can't fix the problem. And I'm not really shure that you will send uus your computer for testing :-). Maybe a detailed 'step-by-step walk through installation' might help me. Are you using any symlinked directories? Any special mountpoints?
OK let me try to pass more info: 1. I'm using OOo since 1.0.1 (so I'm not a newbie) 2. I install a master (as root) under /opt/OpenOffice using the command 'setup -net' 3. As an user I install a slave copy under /home/user/OpenOffice using the command 'setup' You can read this in the transcript from the shell. 4. Indeed the home dir is is mounted and /home is a link: luc@mstreech:~> pwd -P /mnt/dsk2/home/luc luc@mstreech:~> ll /home lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2002-11-26 21:18 /home -> /mnt/dsk2/home luc@mstreech:~> And as stated this behaviour is new; it did not occur during previous installations. (By the Way: feel free to ask me more questions; I'm a pretty experienced C-programmer).
Discovered that I still have OOoBeta1 on my account; herewith a transcript of the setup.log files: Beta1: OK make shortcut /mnt/dsk2/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta/program/setup to /home/luc/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta/setup OK make shortcut /mnt/dsk2/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta/program/soffice to /home/luc/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta/soffice OK make shortcut /mnt/dsk2/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta/program/soffice to /home/luc/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta/spadmin Beta2: OK make shortcut ../../../mnt/dsk2/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta2/program/setup to /home/luc/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta2/setup OK make shortcut ../../../mnt/dsk2/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta2/program/soffice to /home/luc/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta2/soffice OK make shortcut ../../../mnt/dsk2/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta2/program/soffice to /home/luc/OpenOffice.org1.1Beta2/spadmin
Dear O, I hope with this addition you can reproduce the issue. Luc
I've tried with OOo 1.1 final. Installed 1.1.0 in /opt/OpenOffice.org1.1.0 with parameter -net. Logged in as user with home in /export/home/solar4/solar4. /export/home/solar4 is a symlink to /opt2/test/. The links in my homedirectory are soffice -> /opt/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/soffice.Setup.log says: OK make shortcut /opt/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/setup to /export/home/solar4/solar4/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/setup OK make shortcut /opt/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/soffice to /export/home/solar4/solar4/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/soffice OK make shortcut /opt/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/soffice to /export/home/solar4/solar4/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/spadmin OOo is working fine.
Not reproducible.
