Re: [libreoffice-users] Verification problem with OSX and GB language pack

Thanks, I've learnt something new about OSX!   Although I didn't actually notice the problem in 
4.4, perhaps I or the installer did something differently.  I think this could merit a mention in 
the README for the installer, which people might pick up, at least after their original install 
went wrong.
