I took a deeper look at it; actually, the problem is different. A
user-installed extension *is* allowed to override a Basic script (or
dialog) library from a *bundled* *extension*, or from a *system*
(installed as "for all users") extension. *But* not to override a
script (or dialog) library that forms an integral part of
LibreOffice. And access2base is (in LibreOffice 4.2) not a bundled
extension, but a "standard" part of LibreOffice.
The code that enforces that is:
desktop/source/deployment/registry/script/dp_script.cxx around line 350:
if (sOriginalUrl.match("vnd.sun.star.expand:$UNO_USER_PACKAGES_CACHE")
|| sOriginalUrl.match("vnd.sun.star.expand:$UNO_SHARED_PACKAGES_CACHE")
|| sOriginalUrl.match("vnd.sun.star.expand:$BUNDLED_EXTENSIONS"))
{
xScriptLibs->removeLibrary(rName);
bCanAdd = true;
}
else
{
bCanAdd = false;
}
However, if I direct the code flow into the if branch anyway with gdb,
then everything goes well, the built-in access2base is disabled and
the one from the user-installed extension takes over.
So, the question is "why does this code enforce this condition, and
can we change it"? Can we just remove the condition altogether, or
should we add this case:
|| sOriginalUrl.match("$(INST)")
Noel? Uray? You are our Basic "FindTheExpert"s. What's your opinion on
this?
Most likely, the reason that that desktop/source/deployment code only
checks against existing extension libraries but not built-in ones is
that that was never a use-case the code was designed for. I do not
know, though,whether there are any gotchas on the BASIC side that would
be enabled by your proposed change.
