            Bug ID: 290399
           Summary: libreoffice cannot find plugins on FreeBSD 15.0-BETA2
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: christopherhall.hsw@gmail.com

libreoffice-25.8.1.1_1 does not automatically detect the plugins dir:

  % libreoffice
  qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
  This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be 
initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

  % uname -vK                   
  FreeBSD 15.0-BETA2 releng/15.0-n280707-3edefa72bc4e GENERIC 1500067

Removing and reinstalling it and its dependencies does not fix things, but
there
is a Workaround by specifying the path directly:

  % QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/lib/qt6/plugins libreoffice                   

With the path set it now starts normally.
I did not have this problem with 14.3 before the OS update to 15.0-BETA2.
