cliparts are not in gallery-path of openoffice 3.0

I ran into the problem myself. After installing the openclipart-openoffice.org package none of the images were showing up in the openoffice gallery. It appears to me that a lot of openoffice stuff got moved into this basis3.0 directory including the gallery stuff. If that is the case then it should be as simple as changing the install directory for the openclipart-openoffice.org package to put the theme files in /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.0/share/gallery instead of /usr/lib/openoffice/share/gallery which is what this attached patch does that I made. I've built new openclipart packages in my PPA with these changes and tested to see if they fix the problem, and as far as I can see they do.

Just to confirm, I'm also seeing this via OOo 3.x PPA packages from openoffice-scribblers ( https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa ) when installing on 8.04LTS with normal openclipart* packages.

Awesome. I can also confirm Nick B's workaround - I simply symlinked the original dir, opened OOo 3.1 and my openclipart appeared in the gallery!

root@Fibonacci:/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/share# ln -s ../../share/gallery/ gallery

Thanks for the help!

(after renaming the original 'gallery' dir to 'gallery.orig' of course, sorry)

Hmm, I went to reproduce this before fixing it in Karmic only to find that it's already been fixed there, thanks to a sync from Debian:

openclipart (0.18+dfsg-8) unstable; urgency=low

  * rebuild for OOo 3.1
  * add conflicts against openoffice.org-commons newer than the basis we
    build against (( >= ${basis-version}.99) )
  * stop using Xvfb and rely on the headless mode of OOo/VCL. Makes the build
    not fail on sid due to Xvfb crashing...

openclipart (0.18+dfsg-7) unstable; urgency=low

  * upload to unstable

openclipart (0.18+dfsg-6) experimental; urgency=low

  * update for 3-layer OOo (basis-link)
  * move Homepage from description to Homepage:
  * remove bashisms (closes: #459115)

So I think it's just Jaunty.

For all those who suffer from this on Jaunty:

for f in /usr/lib/openoffice/share/gallery/sg*;
  do sudo dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.0/share/gallery/$(basename $f) $f;
done;

This solved it for me. Once Karmic hits the mirrors, you probably should remove those diversions (use "dpkg-divert --list" for that) before upgrading.
