Details

If I try to setup the french dictionary with the Extension Manager I get the error dialog box shown in the attached file.

If I try to use unopkg I get:

[21:06 TA|catwell] /opt/openoffice/program/unopkg add /opt/openoffice/share/extension/install/dict-fr.oxt
An error occurred while enabling: dictionaries.xcu

It's the same whether I use the one shipped with the OpenOffice package or the one from Sun's website, so I'm not sure this is Arch-related. Everything is fine with dict-fr.oxt.

Hello Pierre,

After an afternoon of brainstorming, I've find a solution to resolve that problem !

Rename the folder dict-fr.oxt to dict-fr.zip and extract the files. Open the dictionaries.xcu with your favorite files editor and search for the line 5 : "<node oor:name="HunSpellDic_fr_FR-Classique-et-Réforme1990" oor:op="fuse">". Now remove the "é" (from 'Réforme') or replace it with a "e". Save the file. Re-zip all the files in a dict-fr.zip file. Rename that file to the original "dict-fr.oxt".

And now you can install the french dictionary with the extension manager !

Cheer.

Thanks for the workaround. Looks like this is an upstream problem, I'll try to report this bug so that OpenOffice can handle accented characters in the title of dictionary files.

Their bugtracker registering page gives me a 404, and their website seems to have issues. I think I'll have to wait.

In fact the solution is quite more simple, it's just a character encoding problem:
$ unzip dictionnaire-fr-reforme1990.2.3.3.oxt -d dictionnaire-fr-reforme1990.2.3.3
$ cd dictionnaire-fr-reforme1990.2.3.3
$ iconv -f ISO-8859-15 -t UTF-8 dictionaries.xcu > dictionaries.xcu.utf
$ mv dictionaries.xcu.utf dictionaries.xcu
$ zip ../dictionnaire-fr-reforme1990.2.3.3.oxt *

Could be included in the package until the problem isn't fixed.
