Report: Can not activate the factory for org.libreoffice.report.pentaho.SOReportJobFactory$_SOReportJobFactory

[Michael Hass]

Start a new report and choose whatever you like - for testing purposes only a label. Now run the report - following messages show up:

- Error: SQL-Status: S1000
- Information: Exception of type com.sun.star.loader.CannotActivateFactoryException ...
- Error: Can not activate the factory for org.libreoffice.report.pentaho.SOReportJobFactory$_SOReportJobFactory

The problem occured since some updates in the past weeks.

Some say, it is a ubuntu-related bug.
