There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix  

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project
Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that
has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to
allow cross pollination.

Title:
  [Upstream] [hardy] YEARFRAC function returns incorrect results for
  some dates

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  In Progress
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:	11.04

  2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc
  libreoffice-calc:
    Installed: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2
    Candidate: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 0
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages
       1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages

  3) What is expected to happen is when one types in a cell either:

  =YEARFRAC(DATE(1958,3,1),DATE(1996,1,1),1)
  =YEARFRAC(DATE(1958,3,1),DATE(1995,12,31),1)

  one gets two different results.

  4) What happens instead is they are identical:

  37.8356164384
  37.8356164384

  WORKAROUND: Use Gnumeric as the results are:

  37.8364338364338
  37.8357230348008

  apt-cache policy gnumeric
  gnumeric:
    Installed: 1.10.13-1ubuntu1
    Candidate: 1.10.13-1ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 1.10.13-1ubuntu1 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/universe i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Original Reporter Comments: This occurs whenever the "End date" is in
  a leap year (New Year's Eve/Day is convenient) and the "Start date" is
  not in a leap year but is later than 28-Feb of its year. For example,
  "Start dates" between "1.1.1958" and "2.28.1958" in the above examples
  work correctly.
