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;
