I´ve been working on a uno-messagebox for hours. Office just doesnt output anything and starts to sleep when I execute the mailmerge. Also there were errors like „XSCRIPTCONTEXT is not defined“. And com.sun.star.awt.MessageBoxButtons as well as com.sun.star.awt.VclWindowPeerAttribute do not exist but are used in examples. These are bugs! I need an adequate environment to test the script. Always restarting the office gui is NOT adequate. Otherwise declare python-tk as a dependency in the libreoffice-mailmerge package and the problem is solved.
