Nope.
$ libreoffice --help
The program 'libreoffice' is currently not installed.
(I installed libreoffice by downloading from their website, not using Ubuntu packages -- because I had some issues with it a while back and the advice from their user community is always, don't use system-bundled packages because they are out of date.)
In any case, it doesn't make a difference: org still insists on issuing the command for okular.
I also tried the full path to the binary /usr/bin/libreoffice6.0 -- still exports to Okular.
As a final test, I deleted both the PDF and ODT entries from org-file-apps -- so that there is absolutely no reference in any org code file or variable to okular -- and it is *still* opening the exported ODT in okular! Which strikes me as insane.
org-open-file seems to be a rather complex function. I can't make heads or tails of it. If I had to guess, I would suppose that it has some fallback position that doesn't depend on org configuration variables.
Anyway, the solution for now, as I'm under some time pressure, is to declare that ODT export is broken on my system until I can scrape together some time to upgrade org. PDF export is actually OK for now (and working fine).
