            Bug ID: 132352
           Summary: "Show all updates" tickbox in extension manager not
                    working as expected
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Extensions
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: sergio.callegari at gmail.com

Description:
In the extension manager, pressing the check for updates button provides an
"extension update" window listing the extensions that can be updated.

Here there is also a "Show all updates" tick box whose role is not really clear
(pressing help in the extension update window does not bring up anything
relevant to the window items, incidentally).

In any case, ticking the tick box causes the available extension updates panel
to deliver erratic content, which is most certainly not the intended action.
For instance, right now I get:

TeXMaths 0.48.2 

without the tick and 

TeXMaths 0.48.2
Zotero Libreoffice Integration

with the tick, but there is really no Zotero Libreoffice Integration update
available. Furthermore, clicking Zotero Libreoffice Integration ends up with
the following text being displayed in the description panel:

An error occurred:
Document is empty
Line: 1
Column: 1

This behavior is certainly evident in LibO 6.4.3.2, but in my memory has really
been happening forever.

If the "Show all updates" tickbox is a left over from OpenOffice or very old
versions of Libreoffice and is not meant to be used anymore as I suspect,
please consider removing it.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Tools -> Extension Manager
- Press Check For Updates
- Tick show all updates button in the Avalilable Extension Updates window.
- Check that there is really an update for all the extensions being listed.
- Click on an extension for which an update is actually not available.

Actual Results:
With the Show all updates tick, extensions are listed for which there are
really no updates. If you click on one of them, you get an error text in the
description panel.

Expected Results:
Hard to say, because the role of the "Show all updates" tick box is really not
documented.

Surely, there should be no extension listed for which there is really no update
and most important the action should not trigger errors in the description
panel.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
