libreoffice (1:5.3.0~alpha1-1) experimental; urgency=low
* LibreOffice switched from Firebird 2.5 to Firebird 3. Unfortunately
the format used by the Firebird 2.5 code (fdb - the native on-disk format)
is NOT compatible with the "new" one (the archive format). LibreOffice 5.3
can NOT read older .odbs having .fdb embedded.
Some future firebird version might have a way to convert itself/make LO
able to convert but until then you need to convert manually as follows:
You need the gbak tool from firebird2.5:
https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=gbak&mode=exactfilename&suite=oldstable&arch=any
Then execute:
unzip -d oldFirebird.odb temp;
gbak -b temp/database/firebird.fdb temp/database/firebird.fbk;
rm temp/database/firebird.fdb
zip -FSr oldFirebird.odb temp;
rm -r temp;
