Package: org-mode
Version: 8.3.2-1
Severity: normal
Exporting as ODT does not work, because org-odt-data-dir is set by default
to /usr/share/emacs/etc/org, while the relevant files are installed in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/etc/styles/
Either org-odt-data-dir should be set to the latter directory, or the files
installed in the former.

I can't reproduce this bug in trixie (nor bookworm, if I remember
correctly), so I'm marking it unreproducible. Upstream Org-mode states
that they only support the last couple Emacs releases, so I think that
it's likely that an Emacs that is new enough for elpa-org will also have
necessary ODT-support files that are new enough, yes, this might not
always be the case, but a backwards-incompatible ODT change will require
a manual intervention for elpa-org to adapt to this hypothetical case.
Given that these xml files have not changed at all between the Emacs
shipped with bookworm and the current release of Org-mode, I think it's
reasonable to use upstream's fixed default 'org-odt-data-dir'.
I'm happy to see it works by default now!
Best,
Nicholas
