The LO 3.6.0 RC4 debacle that started with fdo#51252's band-aid fix of no longer copying shared/prereg/bundled data culminates in various bundled extensions not working after an upgrade, as discussed in <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53006> "Autocorrection TWo INitial CApitals does not work because of bundled extensions problem" and in the "Various problems with bundled extensions" item at <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=ReleaseNotes/3.6#Most_annoying_bugs>.

(How much a platform is affected seems to vary due to various factors. Windows appears to be affected severely; Mac OS X a little less, as spellchecking appears to work even though the bundled dictionary extensions are affected in general. Packages for Fedora will be unaffected completely, as it does not make use of shared/prereg/bundled at all; packages for OpenSUSE will likely be unaffected due to <https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=force-refresh-of-bundled-extension-cache.diff&package=libreoffice&project=LibreOffice%3AUnstable> "File force-refresh-of-bundled-extension-cache.diff of Package libreoffice.")

Anyway, <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=96f28626f0ac540fd0d0e129d00f3942bd64235b> "Check for ComponentPackageImpl::isRegistered_ in the current rdb" and <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=81fd6b084b0f3c0eb5a97c77592f5ceb21d2dfb1> "fdo#53006 Force reinstall of all bundled extensions on upgrade" are the two commits from master to get this fixed, which I would love to see backported to libreoffice-3-6.

Sorry for all the trouble,

Stephan (who should know better than to give in to the urge for "one more little band-aid fix for RC4...")
