Bug Description
[Impact]
* LibreOffice 25.8.2 is in its second bugfix release of the 25.8 line:
https:/
* Version 25.8.1 is currently released in questing. For a list of fixed bugs compared to 25.8.1 see the list of bugs fixed in the release candidates of 25.8.2 (that's a total of 70 bugs):
https:/
https:/
25.8.2 RC2 is identical to the 25.8.2 release
* Given the nature of the project, the complexity of the codebase and the high level of quality assurance upstream, it is preferable to SRU a minor release rather than cherry-pick selected bug fixes.
[Testing]
* Upstream testing. Bugs fixed upstream typically include unit/regression tests, and the release itself is extensively exercised (both in an automated manner and manually).
* A recent set of upstream's automated jenkins testing can be found here:

* More information about the upstream QA testing can be found here:
* Automated tests

* Automated UI tests

* Feature tests

* Launchpad testing. The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests that were run and verified as passing.
Tested build can be found at https:/
* [amd64] https:/
* [arm64] https:/
* [armhf] https:/
* [ppc64el] https:/
* [riscv64] not available
* [s390x] https:/
* General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite were carried out by going through the manual testplan as documented by: https:/
* Packaging changes are staged at https:/
[Regression Potential]
* A minor release with a total of 70 bug fixes always carries the potential for introducing regressions, even though it is a bugfix-only release, meaning that no new features were added, and no existing features were removed.
* A combination of autopkgtests and careful smoke testing as described above should provide reasonable confidence that no regressions sneaked in.
