Why do you attack so. I hope this is a friendly list. I did do what you suggested: zypper -v in --force libreoffice-l10n-en
but the files were placed in the /opt/libreoffice directory as I described previously. So I moved them to: /usr/share/libreoffice/help/en-US/
and it works. We are close to saying the same thing, except where zypper put the files.

On my system, the files that were in /opt/ came from the rpm I manually downloaded from the document foundation, as per the other part of this thread. The said command to force the installation of the English help files did not do so, and I think this is why. I extracted the rpm from the document foundation and the rpm from the opensuse repos, and here is the difference - you can see that they are not the same. The document foundation rpm installs in the /opt directory and contains the english language help files, while the rpm from opensuse (it is not described as the help package, but as a language package) contains some English language files, but does not contain help files, and installs them in the /usr/share/libreoffice directory. Here is the tree of them both compared: From the document foundation:

From openSUSE, the libreoffice-l10n-en-6.0.3.2-18.1.noarch.rpm package:
tree from_openSUSE/ from_openSUSE/ └── usr └── share └── libreoffice └── share ├── autotext │ └── en-US │ ├── crdbus50.bau │ ├── standard.bau │ └── template.bau ├── registry │ ├── Langpack-en-US.xcd │ └── res │ └── fcfg_langpack_en-US.xcd └── wizards └── resources_en_US.properties
So I think that the original suggestion to force installation of that rpm would not install the help files in any case, because it is a set of some other english language operating files, and is not meant to be the help files. The problem is to get the help files to work you have to break dependencies and also install an unsigned package (unless someone can tell me where to get the signature for rpms downloaded from the document foundation). So I think what must have happened in 42.3 and some earlier versions is that somehow the help package was accidentally overlooked and not included in setting up packaging for opensuse. Apparently it is working now in 15.0, according to what some people have written. -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.3 | Gnome 3.20 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 42.3 | Gnome 3.20 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
