            Bug ID: 125852
           Summary: After having used a profile with LibO 6.2, using the
                    same profile with LibO 6.1 causes trouble with the
                    extension manager
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
LibO 6.2 and 6.1 can be installed side-to-side on linux systems using the TDF
provided packages.

If one does so:
- only one version can be run at once
- the two versions use the same user profile

What I get from this is that the two versions should be compatible
profile-wise.

Unfortunately, after having used LibO 6.2, the profile gets changed in some way
that it is not anymore fully compatible with LibO 6.1.

Specifically, if you use the Extension manager to update an extension with LibO
6.2, then it becomes impossible to use the extension manager to update or
install extensions with LibO 6.1: the extension manager from LibO 6.1 errors
out.

I have seen this while updating the Texmaths extension.

This may become an issue for those trying LibO 6.2 and then deciding to go back
to 6.1.  Obviously, resetting the profile fixes the problem.

The issue is probably a very minor one now that LibO 6.3 is approaching and
LibO 6.1 has reached EOL. However, if the compatibility breakage in LibO 6.2
was unintentional, it may still be worth looking at it.
