FreeBSD Port: editors/libreoffice

[Jim Wagner]

Hello

I recently had to update my 8.2 box's ports system in an attempt to fix 
a different issue.  Doing so caused LibreOffice to stop working due to 
an updated dependency, even after updating/reinstalling several times.  
I've found reference online to a flaw in LibreOffice that makes it not 
work on 8.x, but there's no known solution.  I get the following 
whenever trying to start LO on my system, even after removing the 
profile directory as instructed online:

%libreoffice
javaPathHelper: not found
terminate called after throwing an instance of 
'com::sun::star::ucb::InteractiveAugmentedIOException'


What are the chances of getting a libreoffice-legacy8 port added to 
revert to whatever version was functional on 8.x?  I know there is a 
relatively recent version which will work because I was using it for 
over a year without problem until I tried updating.  Barring that, how 
would I go about getting the port files for an older version, aside from 
doing a wipe of the system and restore to an earlier point in time?

Thanks for your time.

Jim
