Bug#210581: OpenOffice.org unable to lock registry files on NFS
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.0.99+1.1rc3-1
Here we have diskless computers with shared Debian installation over NFS
(read-only /usr). When starting OpenOffice.org, it tries to lock 3 files
for reading:
types.rdb
services.rdb
setup_services.rdb
In strace output, OOo then gets "No locks available" response and dies.
The workaround was to copy these 3 files to /tmp (tmpfs file system) and
symlink them to /usr/lib/openoffice/program (instead of original ones).
