Bug Description

[Availability]
Package is currently in universe.

[Rationale]
While building LibreOffice with the gcc preprocessor, the sdk of the result fails to work properly. We need ucpp to properly allow the sdk to be used. Debian is using ucpp for LibreOffice too.

[Security]
this MIR request is the first issue filed against the package on Ubuntu ever.

[Quality assurance]
Excellent test suite upstream

[Dependencies]
ucpp binary depends only on libc6. ucpp source depends only on debhelper.

[Standards compliance]
Package at 3.9.3 -- maintained by Debian LibreOffice team

[Maintenance]
maintained by Debian LibreOffice team

[Background information]

Original bug report:
Ubuntu 15.10, LibreOffice 5.0.2.2 (no ppa)

Try compiling the following attachment using:

/usr/lib/libreoffice/sdk/bin/idlc XAbc.idl

?
What else?

This is a problem in the libreoffice package in Ubuntu, not a general LibreOffice problem.

Sure. Seems fine, small, and only used in builds. It has a bunch of compile warnings like "variable may be used uninitialized" but again, since this is only used in builds, such bugs are of lower importance.

But it does need a team bug subscriber for whomever is looking after this in Ubuntu.

Done, thus setting back to InProgress as comment #5 seems to be fine with it otherwise.
