Bug Description

[ Impact ]

 * Ubuntu Studio had previously carried libreoffice-calc as part of its default installation and as part of the ubuntustudio-desktop metapackage. However, as part of missing libreoffice-calc in the seed (see Original FFe Request below), it was also missed in the ubuntustudio-desktop metapackage.

 * There have been numerous complaints from users and reviewers about the omission of libreoffice-calc. This SRU attempts to rectify the situation.

[ Test Plan ]

 * Install (or try) Ubuntu Studio 22.04

 * Notice Libreoffice Calc is not installed

[ Where Problems Could Occur ]

 * Users may not be expecting an update to bring them libreoffice-calc, however, this will be shown to them during their update whether that be via plasma-discover, apt update, or other means.

[ Other Info ]

[ Original FFe Request ]

During the effort before Feature Freeze for Jammy, the Ubuntu Studio team (with myself as lead) were scrambling with ideas to reduce the install size image. This was before I had the idea to use ISO-level-3 in our ISO builds, which was eventually accepted to ubuntu-cdimage, and future-proofed all Ubuntu (and flavor) images for many years to come as it removed the 4GB file size limit on disk.

However, in this process, libreoffice-calc never got re-added to the seed and this was an oversight. This has been a large complaint from our users and reviewers and we wish to rectify this prior to the release of 22.04.1.

The rest of the libreoffice suite (sans base) is already installed, so this shouldn't be a matter of additional dependencies as most, if not all, are already present and seeded. Therefore, I hope this fix should be trivial and that we should be allowed to proceed.

Hey Erich! I think I'm fine with this in general. I assume we had libreoffice-calc preinstalled in Studio in all series before 22.04, right? In this case, please proceed.

Łukasz,

Yes, libreoffic-calc was preinstalled in all series prior to 22.04. Thanks for your approval, I'll commit the seed change and write-up the SRU for the ubuntustudio-meta package itself shortly.

ubuntustudio-desktop 0.266.1 does indeed bring back libreoffice-calc as expected.
