Opening Base .ODB displays "does not exists" message on Ubuntu 18.04

[Erriez]

Opening a moved .ODB to another mounted disk results in the message: “path/database.odb does not exists” on Ubuntu 18.04.

Version: LibreOffice 6.4.5.2
Build ID: libreoffice-6.4.5.2-snap1

Reproducible test case:

1. Create .ODB file in /home/$USER/Documents/database.odb
2. Opening works via Base or double clicking dabase.odb in Nautilus file browser.
3. Move the file to /disk1/database.odb which is mounted via /etc/fstab
4. Open /disk1/database.odb results in message: “/disk1/database.odb does not exists”

Read/write permission is correct on /disk1:

$ ls -la / drwxr-xr-x 24 user user 4096 aug 20 11:41 disk1/

I also noticed that it is not possible to save the database to /disk1 which is not visible in the File | Save as… dialog box.

Any ideas?

I found the answer myself. An old version of LibreOffice was installed on Ubuntu 18.04 and I was able to update it to the latest version (6.4.6 currently) via the Ubuntu update manager.

My solution:

• Remove all LibreOffice versions via the Ubuntu Software Manager.
• Download and install LibreOffice .deb files manually from Download LibreOffice | LibreOffice - Free Office Suite - Based on OpenOffice - Compatible with Microsoft

Now the .ODB can be opened and saved from different locations.
