Alex asked if I could give a recipe that reproduces the bug.
Steps follow.
The quick summary is: it looks like I have old settings. My old
settings say "you can get your importer script from here:", but
then gives a wrong location for the import script.
A workaround is to log in as root and run
prompt> ln -s /afs/athena.mit.edu/software/ooffice_v1.1.4 /var/athena/local/
Doing this will let ooffice find the imporer script from the
wrong location.
Reproduction steps:
1) As a fresh user, go to a Solaris machine, "add -f ooffice_v1.1.4",
and run ooffice, and quit ooffice.
2) Copy *.xlc files from
~jmorzins/OpenOffice1.1.4/user/basic/
into your own
~/OpenOffice1.1.4/user/basic/
(I believe the relevant entry is:
<library:library library:name="WebWizard"
xlink:href="file:///var/athena/local/ooffice_v1.1.4/distrib/sun4x_59/OpenOffice.org1.1.4/share/basic/WebWizard/script.xlb/"
xlink:type="simple"
library:link="true"
library:readonly="false"/>
)
3) Go to a Linux machine, and run "ooffice", and try to import
your old settings.
I should point out that I don't know why I have bad lines in my
user/basic/*.xlc files. I have five OpenOffice1.1.* config
directories in my account:
.OpenOffice.org1.1.0.i386_rh9
.OpenOffice.org1.1.2.i386_rhel3
.OpenOffice.org1.1.2.sun4x_59
.OpenOffice.org1.1.4.i386_rhel3
.OpenOffice.org1.1.4.sun4x_59
The OpenOffice.org1.1.0 directory is clean, and doesn't hard-code
the wrong location. The OpenOffice.org1.1.2 and 1.1.4 directories
are all dirty, and hard-code the wrong importer location in
user/basic/*.xlc .
