[Bug 1214352] Re: GUINT32/64_SWAP_LE_BE macros do not enclose val argument in parentheses

 

Dear Adam Conrad !

It seems that the following problems in LibreOffice:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67527

are caused by libglib2.0-0 package in Ubuntu 12.04.5. 
Please apply this patch (https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?id=255c65f83c1515a7e3fc4609b36e72acc08a79e4) on distro-wide level.

Ubuntu 12.04.5 is LTS, users may not want to switch to the next LTS. 
But they need normal openning of office files from network shares with LibreOffice.

Bug description:
  On 12.04 LTS precise GUINT32/64_SWAP_LE_BE macros do not enclose val argument in parentheses, causing trouble down the stack in gvfs and LibreOffice (and possibly in lots of obscure bugs elsewhere).
  There is a patch available, but as this touches the header, it needs a full recompile of rdepends.
  see: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-March/180302.html ff. for details
