This bug report is specifically about python extensions and as far as I know
LanguageTool is not written in python.
The command that you have provided, may well work with Basic or Java extensions
but it fails with python.
Installing as superuser, installs ONLY for superuser even if the install for
all users option is selected.
Installing using sudo and selecting install for all users, shows the extension
for all users but than fails miserably, when asked to activate, being that it
cannot find the path of the extension.
I have even tried creating another version specifically for multiuser
installation, where the Addons.xcu file contains location=share:uno_packages
rather than the usual location=user:uno_packages entry but that fails too.</pre>
