Bug#733027: Silence warnings about "Use of uninitialized value in lc"

[John Zaitseff]

Package: libopenoffice-oodoc-perl
Version: 2.125-2
Tags: patch

The current version of libopenoffice-oodoc-perl in Debian (and in
Ubuntu) has a rather annoying little bug: it seems to spew out
warnings of the form:

  Use of uninitialized value in lc at /usr/share/perl5/OpenOffice/OODoc/File.pm line 378.

This is due, of course, to the function "lc" being applied to a
possibly-undefined value.

The solution is to change OODoc/File.pm, line 378, from:

  my $od = lc $self->{'opendocument'};

to:

  my $od = $self->{'opendocument'};
  $od = lc $od if defined($od);

I have prepared a patch against the current Debian package that
creates a new debian/patches/silence-warnings.patch file with the
appropriate diff.

Could you please apply this patch.  Thanks!

Yours truly,

John Zaitseff
