The command returned "could not find /path/to/LibreOffice.app." on my MacBook
late 2008 (OSX 10.11.6, LibreOffice 7.1.1.2); languagepack german does not
install. Same with 7.0.5. At last I installed the language files manually,
which was no joy. The "show file extensions" setting makes no difference on my
machine. The problem first occured, after I updated to 7.1.1.2. Former versions
of languagepack installed fine on same system. But going back to 7.0.5 did not
solve the problem, as mentioned above. 
Idea: Maybe it has to do with a preference-file, that was written when updating
to 7.1.1, so that all further languagepack installations fail?
