I've just updated to LibO 3.6.1 and hit the following problem when
trying to access my address book

Does anyone recognise it, Google doesn't?

The attempt to load the file resulted in the following error message
(com.sun.star.lang.IllegalArgumentException):

Unsupported URL <file:///home/phb/..../AddressBook.ods>

Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit
Java 1.7_06 (and 05)

All was well with LibO 3.6.0 and Java 1.7_05 just prior to the upgrade,
carried out by complete removal of 3.6.0 via Synaptic and clean
installation of the "real" product, downloaded from the LibreOffice web
site via dpkg -iR

Interestingly everything is fine on a 32 bit installation!



Hi,
Since many years I use to update my office suites without removal. All major versions (OOo 1 and 2, LibO and OOo 3) are separate applications with separated profile folders anyway. Any problems (if any) are related to the user profile which can be reset by renaming a folder. Within the profile issues, the installed extensions are the major culprit (but not the ones I use to have installed). So I extract the downloaded archive, change to the extracted directory/DEBS and run
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
If I want that version to be the default program with menu and everything I change to the desktop-integration subdirectory and install that package too. If I do not want that version to be the default program I add a couple of my own desktop links to the respective executables. There were times when I had OOo 1.1.5, 2.4.3, 3.4beta, LibO 3.3 and 3.5.x installed in parallel without any problem.

Problems that come up quite frequently on this list are not the normal case. It is designed to be update out of the box, particularly on Linux.
Just my 2 Cents,
A.S.
