adam jvok, I agree with you in that this looks like a downstream
packaging bug.

Title:
  LibreOffice Missing Files For JavaScript Macros to work in 11.10

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  New
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description: Ubuntu 11.10
  Release: 11.10

  2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc
  libreoffice-calc:
    Installed: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2
    Candidate: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0
          500 http://hk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  apt-cache policy libreoffice-java-common
  libreoffice-java-common:
    Installed: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2
    Candidate: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0
          500 http://hk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) What is expected in LibreOffice Calc is when one clicks Tools ->
  Macros-> Organize Macros

  An option for Javascript is available as noted in:
  http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Scripting

  4) What happens instead is it is missing.

  I installed 'rhino', with no effect.

  WORKAROUND: 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.
