Bug Description

When I install the libreoffice package (1:4.3.0~rc1-0ubuntu1~trusty0) on Ubuntu 14.04 from ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-prereleases, both 32-bit and 64-bit, the splash screen appears, soon followed by a Fatal Error dialog:

The application cannot be started.
service not supplied: loading component library <file:///usr/lib/libreoffice/program/../program/libexpwraplo.so> failed

I have not tested if any upstream packaging produces the error.

It is a known problem which effects all builds of 4.3rc1 in the prerelease ppa.
There is no further confirmation or information needed.

Thanks for tagging with ppa, as I should have per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
Note that I cannot collect info using apport: it does not detect the fatal error, and "apport-bug libreoffice" will not proceed due to it not being an official Ubuntu package.
Any other info that would help?

Is this an XFCE bug only? And, is there a workaround?

Scratch that - I'm getting it in Unity as well.

I hope there is a workaround.

in terminal type :

sudo rm /usr/share/mime/packages/kde.xml

(look at 'kde.xml', suits 'kde.xml' for your distro)

sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

I solved.

Hmm, so the lib that is being complained about is at least packaged in libreoffice-core -- so at least not obviously missing from the install.

Uff, I have the same error. Loading component... Anyone has a workaround or I have to reinstall an older version of libreoffice

this is caused by --enable-mergelibs, disabling it for now. Build is on the way.

This should be fixed with libreoffice-1:4.3.0~rc2-1ubuntu1~utopic2. Not ideal to disable mergelibs (for performance reasons), but at least there should be testable build of rcs now.
