[Bug 1437235] [NEW] libreoffice fails to launch due to symlink /usr/bin/X11/libreoffice

 

Public bug reported:

I can no longer open files from nautilus with libreoffice.
Double-clicking on a file does nothing for example.

Trying to open libreoffice from the commandline gives the following:
=> libreoffice
/usr/bin/X11/libreoffice: 54: cd: can't cd to ../lib/libreoffice/program
/usr/bin/X11/libreoffice: 163: exec: /usr/bin/X11/oosplash: not found

The problem is that I have "/usr/bin/X11" in my PATH before "/usr/bin".
The command "/usr/bin/libreoffice" works.

I'm wondering why libreoffice is installed in "/usr/bin/X11"?
