This is an ubuntu packaging issue and not a libreoffice issue, hence marking as notourbug.
(Some backgroudn: Draw and Impress are highly dependent on each other and share most of their code. That means that if you install only impress, you also end up with a lot of draw installed too and vice versa. On ubuntu most of the necessary libraries are contained in the draw package [http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/i386/libreoffice- draw/filelist -- libsd*.so contain most of the draw and impress code]. Thus for impress to work draw is needed in order for the shared libraries the be present. The impress package then simply adds some additional files also needed for impress to function [http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/i386/libreoffice-impress/filelist]. On Opensuse the shared libraries are all in the main libreoffice package with the draw and impress packages containing the few additional files needed specifically or draw or impress (registry entries and desktop files, and a few other minor draw or impress specific files), allowing them to actually be installed separately.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313173 Title: [Upstream] Impress depends on draw Status in LibreOffice: New Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Won't Fix Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org-impress When I try to remove openoffice.org-draw from my system I also need to remove openoffice.org-impress; this behaviour annoyes me, since I've never ever used -draw (or even the related functionalities), but I frequently use -impress to do some very simple (and very useful) work. Common functionalities can be exported into openoffice.org-common, or disabled when -draw isn't installed. This behaviour is common to every version of ubuntu so far, including packages from openoffice-pkgs ppa (openoffice.org 3).
