Description:

LibreOffice Base should have Writer on its dependencies array. I haven't tried with another applications of the suite, but base won't run without writer installed

Additional info:

In LibreOffice 4.0.1, without any special configurations.

Steps to reproduce:

Install libreoffice-base, without libreoffice-writer
Try to open base.
(on a terminal it throws: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException')
This task depends upon

Guess this applied to more than just base. The most recent package has added a dependency for calc.

I've looked a bit into this, it seems all these aps need /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry/writer.xcd, I could just delete any other file from my system without making calc or impress fail.

Mmm then it would be better to introduce the archive manually on the packages because talking about KISS, we just need this archive to be included, not the whole writer

I'm going to bring this to the LibO devel mailing list.

I've been reading the thread on libreoffice mailing list. I can't comment because I'm not registered, and as you ar our representer, I'd like to tell you, Andy, that... what about adding the file, or even the necessary components of the file writer.xcd on a file in libreoffice-commons, and create a base-core, calc-core, etc. package to get the "extra" features such as forms in base?

For now I've applied the late upstream 4-0-2 branch librelogo patch and moved that writer.xcd file into libreoffice-common to be present for all applications until upstream solves this in a proper way.
