Comment 242 for bug 93546

> Tried to connect KDE-Adressbook.
> OpenSuSE 11.4, 32bit, LO 3.3.4 and LO 3.5.4.2 → connection works

OK, as we have reports that:

 - it works on 32 bits
 - does not work on 32 bits

I'm going to assume this is *not* related to 32/64 bits.

More fundamentally, I have the impression we are mixing several different bugs here:

1) Do the right options appear in the "Address Book Data Source" wizard?

2) Do these options work as expected?

Each missing, and each not-working option could be a *different* bug. One of these multiple bugs could be linked to 32/64 bits.

Especially, the libebook discussion should be relevant *only* to "does Evolution appear in the list / work", and not to any other entry.

Wrt to 1):

1.1) evolution missing: duh... Not enabled in our builds :-|

In my testing (my libreoffice-3-6 development tree and LibreOffice 3.6.1.1 official amd64 .debs on Debian amd64 with package libebook-1.2-12 version 3.2.2-3, file /usr/lib/libebook-1.2.so.12), I have:

Mozilla / Netscape
Thunderbird/Icedove
LDAP
Other

The first two don't work, saying that no address book directory is available. As this is very well possible (I don't use any of these programs), this does not necessarily indicate a bug.

LDAP: seems to work, don't have an actual LDAP server to completely test.

Other: seems to work, did not go all the way to a connection

I don't have KDE address book listed: duh, I don't have KDE installed.

I don't have evolution address book listed: I don't use Evolution, so maybe not a bug. Maybe still a bug.

So I'm sending this back to QA:

1) Please open a new bug for each separate issue, and include me in CC

2) Make it a blocker of this bug

3) include exact reproduction instructions on what is needed
   on a fresh system to create said Address Book
   before LibreOffice is supposed to be able to use it:

   a) install what program
      (please not "all of KDE" or something like that)
   b) do what in that program to create a new address book and
      a few entries in it, ...

   Also include exact settings (if any) needed in LibreOffice
   (e.g. LDAP connection string, BaseDN, ...)

   If needs connection to a server, try to find
   a publicly available server.
   E.g. for LDAP, the Debian LDAP directory may do (I don't know).

If the issue is "all entries missing" (or "all except Other"), that's probably a single issue. Don't open a bug per missing entry. But if *some* are missing, probably multiple issues (exception: Evolution, Groupwise and Evolution LDAP are served by the same driver, so if all three are missing,l it is a single issue).

Same for "some/all not working".
