Synopsis

The remote Mandriva host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

This update is the Mandriva OpenOffice.org 3.0 stable official release on Mandriva Linux 2009.0 and it holds some of following explained bug fixes related to openoffice.org-3.0-0.rc2.1mdv2009 packages:

OpenOffice.org crashes on start up when the user interface is changed to the Greek language, thus preventing Greek users from using OpenOffice.org in their language (bug #44821).

The PyUno function loadComponentFromUrl is missing. This made it not possible in some ways to extend OpenOffice.org using Python through PyUno. Further, some OpenOffice.org extensions written in Python may not work as well (bug #45445).

Clip art in the clipart-opencliparts-1.8 package are unreachable by OpenOffice.org. This prevented users from using a lot of clip art provided by the clipart-opencliart-1.8 package (bug #45196).

Since no l10n package is installed by default with OpenOffice.org, it used en_US (American English) as the default user interface language and the openoffice.org-help-en_US package should be installed by default to enable users to view OpenOffice.org help. This is the default behavior for other l10n OpenOffice.org language packages:
always when an l10n package is installed, the respective help package is also installed (bug #44809).

The default user desktop e-mail program configured according to the FreeDesktop.org standard tools should be used for OpenOffice.org when e-mail URI embedded in documents are accessed (bug #43917).

OpenOffice.org installed a misplaced file on the root file system.
This file is called ooobuildtime.log and it should not be there.

The updated packages provide the final OpenOffice.org 3.0 release and fix the noted issues.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
