Bug Description

Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal), libreoffice 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3

In /usr/lib/mime/packages/libreoffice-{calc,draw,impress,math,writer} there are entries describing the various mime types LibreOffice can handle and how. (These are used to generate /etc/mailcap). In each of those files the command-line option "-no-oosplash" is included, which no longer seems to exist:

$ libreoffice -no-oosplash
Unknown option -no-oosplash

LibreOffice doesn't ignore this and will fail to start.

Replacing "-no-oosplash" with "--nologo" and running "sudo update-mime" works fine for me.

In the source these files are debian/libreoffice-*.mime

Thanks!

I implemented the fix above, but it did not solve the issue for the mail reader 'mutt'. -no-oosplash must be lurking elsewhere as well.

I was also using Mutt when reporting this bug and this fixed it. Can you check /etc/mailcap to see if it has -no-oosplash in it, and also if you have a .mailcap file in your home directory? The full list for mutt is apparently:
$HOME/.mailcap
$PKGDATADIR/mailcap
$SYSCONFDIR/mailcap
/etc/mailcap
/usr/etc/mailcap
/usr/local/etc/mailcap
although I think the second and third aren't relevant for Debian-packaged mutt.

grep oosplash /usr/lib/mime/packages/libreoffice-*
returns empty on saucy with 4.1.1, thus assuming fixed.
