  I installed 'rhino', with no effect.
  
  For javascript to work in LibreOffice it appears I need the file
  ScriptProviderForJavaScript.jar
  
  Maverick had this file:
  
  /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/program/classes/ScriptProviderForJavaScript.jar
  
  in openoffice.org-java-common
  (http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/all/openoffice.org-java-
  common/filelist)
  
  But the file is missing from 11.10:
  http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/all/libreoffice-java-common/filelist
  
  By taking the files found in Arch Linux:
  
  http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libreoffice-extension-
  scripting-javascript/
  
  and putting them under /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/script-
  provider-for-javascript on 11.10, I can solve the problem.
  
  But clearly this should not be necessary.
  
  The files should be (but do not appear to be) provided by some package
  in 11.10.
