Package: libreoffice-calc
Version: 1:7.0.4-4+deb11u3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Opening a calc file show this warning message: "The master password is stored in an outdated format, you should refresh it".
But I have not apply a password in Libreoffice or on this file. So this message is inappropriate.

It could make confusion for lot of users.

Regards.

Which is a security fix.
https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/security/advisories/cve-2022-26306/

Which was added in deb11u2

>But I have not apply a password in Libreoffice or on this file. So this message is inappropriate.

It has nothing to do with the file in question.

>It could make confusion for lot of users.

Maybe, but other trivialities or other issues confuse users so that's not a reason here to refrain from fixing a security-related bug.

Did you really not add a password for some other data/web connections?
In that case it is not a fake warning.

Regards

René

And I so thing better warn than being sorry. This is an official security-related fix and won't be changed by me.

Well, I didn't collect (all) the translations, and didn't try to get the
7.3.x/7.4x translations then into 7.0.4, indeed.

I think a security fix shouldn't wait for this anyways.

It might be that it's show in all cases, didn't check.

To he honest I just took the upstream patch 1:1 (except some massaging
to get it to build in 7.0.4) without even thinking about that :)

Rene

Ok, Thanks, René, for your answer.

Now, I understand the objective. What is confusing is that this message
is untranslated and troubling for the neophyte. That is all.
I don't remember registering a password.

This message does not appear after the first running of this new fixing.
So thanks to close this report.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards;
