Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 98144
update notifier notifies of non existing updates
Last modified: 2010-10-28 13:03:34 UTC
Every time I open OOo 3, I get a message in the upper-right corner stating that there are updates for extensions. But if I click it, no updates are available. This is irritating since the balloon pops up every time I start OOo.
i'm not able to reproduce this, what extensions in which version are already installed ?

Hi woutervanwijk, do you get it when you are connected to the internet, or do you also get it when no internet access is available?
I always get it, no matter if I'm connected or not. I use the Dutch version of OOo, and two extensions are installed: Dutch spelling and hyphenation, and the english one.
ok, if you also get it without internet connection, i'm out of it :-) -> JL: as developer - are you aware of such a behaviour? -> OF: Have you seen this behaviour jet?
OF: Fortunately not. Otherwise I've had to write an issue.
Created attachment 59668 [details] screenshot of the update notifier
I found out that if I disable the general 'check for updates' option (of the whole suite), then this behaviour is gone.

Any new on this? Can we close this issue?
I'll have a look.

Retargeted, could not reproduce.
Engineers, I can reproduce this with 3.1.1rc2 on WinXP with the pre-shipped extensions only. Tell me what info you need and I will try to get it to you. Maybe error in the config of on of the extensions shipped that is triggering a bug in the update system?
I have looked into it a little more and have noted the following. A part of the Jobs.xcu looks like this: <node oor:name="UpdateCheck"> <node oor:name="Arguments"> <prop oor:name="AutoCheckEnabled" oor:type="xs:boolean"> <value>true</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="LastCheck" oor:type="xs:long"> <value>1252834175</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="Extension_org.openoffice.en.hunspell.dictionaries" oor:op="replace" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>2008.11.20</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="Extension_org.openoffice.da.writer2latex.oxt" oor:op="replace" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>1.0</value> </prop> </node> </node> Removing the file completely or the following lines solves the problem: <prop oor:name="Extension_org.openoffice.en.hunspell.dictionaries" oor:op="replace" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>2008.11.20</value> </prop> Also, can we verify that the value "2008.11.20" is absolutely correct and works in this way? Maybe this can help you? Best Per
set target.
There have been loots of changes in the extension manager and I can't reproduce this issue. I will close this one.
Closed.
