[SOLVED] Re: [YBA] libroffice Hebrew input stopped working

[Jonathan Ben Avraham]

Dear ILUG colleagues,
The issue that I reported on this list regarding broken Hebrew input using 
Debian Wheezy LibreOffice with the Hebrew keyboard layout from the 
Keyboard Layouts plugin is resolved by installing LibreOffice from Wheezy 
backports as follows:

Add

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main

to /etc/apt/sources.list.

Do

apt-get update
apt-get -t wheezy-backports install libreoffice

Thanks to Lior Kaplan for suggesting this solution.
