Details

Description: This error affects both libreoffice-fresh 4.4.3-1 and libreoffice-still 4.3.7-1 packages. When the avahi package is not installed, launching Draw fails and generates an "loading component library <file:///usr/lib/libreoffice/program/../program/libsdlo.so> failed" error. Launching Impress fails with no error.

I have found three solutions:
1- install the avahi package
2- manually overwrite the /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libsdlo.so file with the file from the AUR libreoffice-fresh-rpm 4.4.3-1 package
3- recompiling the packages with --disable-avahi

ldd /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libsdlo.so
libavahi-common.so.3 => not found
libavahi-client.so.3 => not found

Avavhi is not a dependency of libreoffice-fresh or libreoffice-still, so I'm not sure why it is needed for Draw and Impress to function. Thanks in advance for any help.

ldd lists linked libraries recursively. Use readelf -d to list direct dependencies only.

One package dependency chain is: gtk2 depends on libcups which in turn depends on avahi.

Thanks for the information. I'm using a libcups 2.0.2-4 package that I compiled with --disable-avahi. Does this mean that I'll have to compile libreoffice myself from now on if I don't want to install avahi? My apologies for logging a bug report if that is the case.

Pretty much. Since it's already in the dependency chain, there's nothing to be done here. Once you change a package, it essentially becomes unsupported.
