Hi Craig, I have executed that xattr command for the LibreOffice.app bundle on 3 different Mac production machines at my work at various stages of their lifetime and have had no ill effects, in fact only positive effects, as it allowed me then to start and use LibreOffice. The command removes the quarantine flag set by Apple's Gateway system, that is all. The problem seemed to affect macOS 10.9.5 in particular, but has also occurred on more recent versions of macOS. I would note that your client really ought to consider upgrading his/her machine to a newer one with a recent version of macOS - there are lots of unpatched vulnerabilities in 10.9.5 and the last security update I can find on Apple's website dates back to March 2017 and applied to iTunes only.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
