[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

LibreOffice cannot open hyperlinks on Guix System.  This is because it
attempts to invoke /usr/bin/xdg-open, which does not exist.  For
example, if you launch "libreoffice" on the command line and then
attempt to open a hyperlink via Control + Left Click in Calc, you'll get
the following message:

  sh: /usr/bin/xdg-open: No such file or directory

I have a fix and will post it in a moment.

I've verified that the attached patch fixes the issue.  It took over 4
hours to build libreoffice on 1 core on my x200 laptop (not including
the time it took to build dependencies).  I would normally push this
directly to master because no packages depend on libreoffice, but the
long build time gave me pause.

Should I commit this change to master or to somewhere else?
