Title:
  Libreoffice startup center shortcut broken

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in libreoffice source package in Utopic:
  New

Bug description:
  [SRU justification]

  [Impact]
  Directly impacts visibility/discoverability of LibreOffice

  [Test Case]
  /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/xdg/startcenter.desktop should not be a symlink (see comment 4)

  [Regression Potential]
  restricted, relevant patches are currently:
  - on all the 1:4.3.4-0ubuntu1~${distrel}1 packages in the libreoffice PPA (vivid, utopic, trusty, precise): https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages
  - same for the 4.3 PPA at https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-4-3/+packages
  - no regressions reported

  [Other Info]
  This seems to be related with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1200277  that was already fixed, but the libreoffice startup center shortcut remains broken. You can fix it making /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/xdg/startcenter.desktop a file, not a symlink (see comment 4).

  Please include the fix in
  https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa for Precise 12.04.

  This was reproduced under Libreoffice 4.3 for Precise using this ppa
  https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa

  Thanks in advance
