Description Graham Perrin 2008-11-06 20:09:29 UTC 
Whilst attempting to install maybe three extensions to OOo 3.0 on colleague's computer, at least two 
failed:

pdfimport.oxt
sun-wiki-publisher.oxt

In this case the user's home directory is on an AFP server. Mac OS X 10.5.5 client of Mac OS X Server 
10.5.5. 

AFAIR one other extension did install without failure/crash so I'm tempted to assume that there are 
problems with these particular extensions. If/when I revisit the computer/account in question, I'll take 
additional notes and if necessary report to extension developers (Sun). 

However: as both are developed by Sun, and one of the two is high profile, I wonder whether Sun are 
overlooking some code etiquette that's required for compatibility with home directories in this 
situation.
